Inheritance Library
A public research library preserving the distinction between existing holdings, a gap-filling reference collection, and primary authorities.
Inheritance Library
Books, sources, cases, and authorities behind the work. This public catalog preserves the difference between works already present in the working collection, a reference layer assembled to fill important gaps, and primary legal authorities.
This is a research map, not a list of endorsements. A work may appear because it supplies evidence, a method, an authority, a comparison, a disagreement, or a line of inquiry. Inclusion records relevance to the work; it does not establish agreement.
The public edition is deliberately narrower than the working catalog. Private provenance, file identifiers and paths, internal control or review notes, and operational material are excluded. Enrichment may change what the catalog says about a work without silently changing the record’s provenance.
Existing Library
203 records for works already present in the inherited or working collection. Presence records holdings or prior use; some legacy bibliographic control can still be improved.
Reference Library
307 records in a deliberately gap-filling research layer assembled to strengthen the corpus. These records are not represented as inherited physical holdings.
Law & Authority
A separate primary-verified legal layer. The current public checkpoint exposes twelve foundational authorities with primary-source links where available.

What this public edition establishes
The public projection contains 540 records: 510 works and sources—203 Existing Library records and 307 Reference Library records—plus 30 legal and public-authority records. One hundred twenty-two works now carry reader-facing enrichment. Catalog inclusion does not mean a source has been adopted into any Institute argument; research-project status remains controlled separately.
Enrichment changes what a reader can understand about a record; it does not silently change provenance. A finding link is a discovery route, not a claim that full text is freely available.
What inclusion does not establish
- Presence in the catalog is not endorsement.
- Existing Library does not mean every legacy edition is fully authority-controlled.
- Reference Library does not mean a work is physically held.
- Legal summaries are orientation, not legal advice; primary sources control.
- The public explorer is intentionally narrower than the private working register.
