Transmission 001

Our first journey into the archive has arrived. After years of not knowing where to begin, it struck me that perhaps there is no better place than the beginning of conscious memory. So, we are going back to 1963.

Evidence of a Time Unrecalled

There are a few bits of ephemera from before our story begins: a Greek funerary notice, and two illustrated photographs. They are important to our archive, but not yet to our story.
