Every source the Ledger reads, in one place. Each entry lists the publisher, what kind of feed it is, how often it updates, and how the Ledger uses it. Status tells you how far we have verified the link: confirmed means the address answered when we checked it for this edition; pattern means the address follows the publisher's standard format or answered with a block for automated requests, and should be verified before automation; landing means we link the publisher's page and are still locating a machine-readable feed.

How the archive is used
Sources marked confirmed are read on a schedule by the Ledger's build pipeline and land in a review queue. An editor approves every entry before it publishes. Nothing on this site is posted without a person reading it first.
Three things are never automated: arrest and jail records, anything naming a minor beyond a published sports roster, and quotations. If you see a quote in the Ledger, it came from a document or a recording we can point to.
