Simple for members. Structured underneath.
Find
Search the map first. Existing records are used rather than creating duplicates.
Research
The Armchair Detective handles structured case analysis. Trove Investigator handles historical newspaper research.
Contribute
New case details appear with an unverified Pending label. They become a Live case only after admin review; later contributions remain private until reviewed.
Evidence and source rules
Material is kept separate as verified fact, reported fact, witness account, inference, hypothesis, rumour, contradiction, information gap, or disproven/withdrawn information. Several articles repeating one source are not treated as several independent confirmations.
Privacy levels
PRIVATE
Remains with the contributor unless they later approve sharing.
RESTRICTED TEAM
Visible only to authorised case-team members.
COMMUNITY
May be used inside the private community after review.
PUBLIC-SOURCE SHAREABLE
Appropriate lawfully public material that may be suitable for broader use.
Safety boundaries
No harassment, surveillance, trespass, impersonation, hacking, amateur interrogation, doxxing, public suspect ranking or unsupported accusation. Known-convicted-offender records require authoritative public support. Active proceedings require extra restraint.
