_{The Canon for the Anthropocene Collection - Provenance}

Welcome to the receipts.
‍
This page is the public record behind every HistoriHash artifact in the Canon for the Anthropocene Collection. For each entry you can see the original sources we used, the archived copies that cannot be quietly edited later, and the cryptographic fingerprints that prove the files you see today are the same ones we verified at mint.
‍
How it works in plain English
‍
We pull the primary source. We snapshot it into permanent archives like Wayback or Archive.today. We compute a SHA-256 hash of the files and store that fingerprint in the metadata. When possible we pin evidence to IPFS or Arweave. That means anyone can check the links, load the archives, and run the same hash to confirm the bytes match. If something changes on the open web, the archived copy and the hash expose it.

What you’ll find here

Evidence pack: original URL, archive snapshots, decentralized copies, file hashes.Scoring math: the rubric breakdown that explains why an event was minted and how it scored.Curators and governance: who validated it, when it was ratified, and how disputes are handled. Change log: any corrections, counter-evidence, or community challenges are recorded in the open.

Trust is optional. Verification is built in

You do not need to take our word for anything on this page. Click through the sources. Open the archives. Recompute the hashes. If you find a mistake or have stronger evidence, raise a dispute and it will be logged and resolved in public.

Why this matters

Memories fade. Links rot. Narratives get rewritten. Provenance is how we anchor history to something checkable and durable so future people can see what really happened, not just what survived on a server somewhere.Open an entry.


Kick the tires. Verify a hash. This canon only works if it can be tested.
