How It's Built

Public digital book

Family History Digital Book

A public editorial platform built from civil records, photographs, family accounts, and genealogical data, combining long-form narrative, visualization, and static web publishing.

Context

Organizing civil records, photographs, family accounts, and genealogical data from different periods and branches into a structured, navigable public digital book.

The project is not only a family website. It is a technical and editorial product: a publishing system for chapters, visual ancestry maps, historical records, photos, routes, and curated narrative. This page walks through the architecture and editorial work behind the book.

Origins

A continuation of early work with collections and information organization.

Early in my career, I worked with the Historical Archive and Municipal Museum of Araucária, cataloging documents and photographs, contributing to historical publications, and developing a PHP and MySQL system for the museum collection. Family History revisits that discipline through historical research, cataloging, image curation, and digital publishing.
