All 178,749 image files from the production document root, grouped by directory and packed into tars of at most 2 GB. Verify a download with shasum -a 256 against the printed digest.

sha256 c614a855738d079c…The fastest way to answer "what's missing on the wiki" is a diff against the archive inventory, not a re-upload. Two manifests, CSV with path,bytes:
| Manifest | Covers | Download |
|---|---|---|
| manifest-images.csv.gz | Every image file shipped above (178,749 rows) | manifest-images.csv.gz |
| manifest-full.csv.gz | Every file in the production docroot, including code and pages we don't republish here — so coverage questions stay answerable | manifest-full.csv.gz |
# which archive images are absent from the wiki?
comm -23 <(gzcat manifest-images.csv.gz | cut -d, -f1 | sort) \
<(sort your-wiki-file-list.txt) > missing-from-wiki.txt
The archive is also mirrored object-by-object at the original site paths. Take any image URL from the live site and swap the host to fetch the archived copy:

Provenance & scope. Snapshot taken 2026-07-16 directly from the production server (docroot tar + mysqldump). Photographer email addresses were removed from contacts before publishing. Site code (PHP, cgi, includes) and webserver statistics are inventoried in the full manifest but not republished here.
Refreshing. The capture is scripted and can be re-run against production when a newer snapshot is needed — ask Nate (nate@princestreetconsulting.com).
