External Reference Resources

Books, archives, and external research sources consulted across the KB. These are not primary sources held in the collection (those are in knowledge-base/artifacts/ as HH-BOOK-* / HH-REF-*); these are external works whose authors and dates we cite when grounding a claim.

Some resources are referenced by author/year only (the source itself is not in the repo). Others have a full PDF archived in assets/pdfs/; those carry a pdf: field in their frontmatter and are linked below with 📄 PDF.

Each resource has both a Jekyll-facing page (rendered to /resources/<slug>/ for the public site, sourced from _resources/*.md where available) and a KB page here in knowledge-base/resources/<slug>.md (for cross-referencing from sources: fields).

Conventions

• Slug: kebab-case, matches the Jekyll _resources/ basename (underscores → dashes).
• type: concept (these are compiled topic pages about external works).
• Cite from a KB page by listing the slug under sources: — e.g. - texas-glass.
• Alias slugs: legacy citations may use longer slugs (e.g. smith-texas-glass-illustrated-history); resolved via the aliases: frontmatter field where applicable.
