The Editorial guide defines the working standard for this museum wiki.

Core principles

• Write for curious general readers while preserving research precision.
• Cite claims that are specific, disputed, surprising, biographical, quantitative, or likely to change.
• Prefer primary sources for what happened and strong secondary sources for interpretation.
• Attribute oral history and memory; do not treat recollection as automatically conclusive.
• Distinguish a museum object from a product type, model, mold, run, or historical event.
• Use neutral language and represent meaningful disagreement fairly.

Article status

A structured outline is acceptable at launch. Use Template:Tl to name the missing work. Remove it only when the stated gap is resolved.

Links to museum systems

Link to Omeka for authoritative object records and rights statements, and to the Digital Library for scanned sources. Avoid copying catalog fields that can drift out of sync.

Biographies of living people

Use high-quality published sources, avoid unnecessary private detail, and remove contentious unsourced material immediately.

Style

Use clear section headings, concise leads, sentence case, meaningful link text, image alt text, and full citations. Explain specialized language or link it to the glossary.
