Historical Documents

The written instruments this atlas holds as artifacts of the past: treaties, charters, declarations, constitutions and the primary texts a historian cites as evidence rather than narrates as an event. A document is filed here rather than under Events because it is the artifact itself, the physical or textual object a signature or a promulgation produced, not the happening that produced it. This band's own subcategory tree is not yet built; fifteen live members is a small start, and real-world coverage of historical documents runs into the thousands, so this band is expected to grow well beyond its current size.
