Feature on the “Kyoto Book of Records,” a fictional archival collection of handwritten notes and notes from the 1930s and 1940s, detailing cultural and scientific notes from around the world. The notes, some of which reference historical events, are fictional but detailed enough to allow for easy identification of individuals or organizations referenced. They include notes on cultural notes, historical notes, and notes on specific events, such as shipments from the Baltic Port of Gdańsk to London, or notes on customs notes from London-based organizations like Lloyd’s of London and the Royal Society of Sciences. The collection includes notes on people and events such as U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant, Frederick Douglass, Mark Twain, and Thomas Edison, as well as historical notes on shipping routes and customs notes.
