The Swansea Chronicler is being built as a live local-history archive, not a finished book. That means some stories will be published because they are worth sharing even when the perfect photograph has not been found yet.
Where a precise image is available, the article should use it and credit it clearly. Where the exact image is not available, the site may use the closest relevant public image, a wider view of the place, or no photograph at all. That is more honest than forcing the wrong image to look certain.
Everything here is written to the best of my current knowledge and ability. Local history improves when people correct it, add memories, explain what a photograph really shows, or point towards a source that has been missed.
I am happy to edit, learn and update the archive when better information comes in. That includes names, dates, building details, family memories, old photographs, image credits, spelling corrections and stories that need more care.
Readers do not need to send a polished article. A rough memory, a scan, a street name, a family story or a note saying that a detail is wrong can be enough to make the page better.
The aim is to keep the site useful, readable and honest. Swansea has too many good stories to wait until every gap is solved, but every story should remain open to improvement.
If you have a better image or correction for any article, send it in with as much context as you can. The page can be updated, the credit can be added and the story can become stronger for everyone who reads it next.
