The reader’s problem
Before a legal collection can be searched, its records need a source trail.
What changed
The October archive brought legislation, rulings, Gazette records and other legal documents into a structure that could be parsed and checked again. It preserved the connection between a database record and the page from which it was read.
Using the feature
That connection matters when two versions differ or a record looks incomplete. The database describes source-page addresses and content hashes alongside legal records. Researchers can investigate a particular item rather than treating a downloaded table as an unexplained collection of text.
Reading the evidence
This was groundwork for the public library, which opened on 8 October. An archived page records what a source published when fetched. It does not establish that the page is an official consolidated statement of current law.
