Shelves cut by the thread.

Some threads run through many stories at once — the instruments, the famines, the money. A collection pulls one thread and hands you every story strung on it.

COLLECTIONThe Famine LedgerTen famines in forty years — same drought, opposite outcomes, and the tax that decided. EVIDENCEThe Evidence RoomThe famine roll, the drain, the distress gold — counted, dated, sourced.
