- Hello, everyone! I'm proud to announce that with today's special double update, all of the records pertaining to the Tending Grounds and the Lost Village - our second major portion of the exhibit - are now on our site! Excerpts below. Some news and the links to follow. (-:
- Normally, we take a hiatus of a few weeks between finishing exhibit portions to allow Ellsyx some time to rest. But our Benefactor has encountered some... news... I shall say, that may completely impact our fifth major portion of the exhibit, records pertaining to Lacuz Village.
- I'm proud of our fifth major portion of the exhibit as it stands, and while I'm trying to push back, it's proving exceedingly difficult. What our Benefactor wants, our Benefactor often gets. And so we'll need the next few months to sort this... issue out.

- Hi! I'm Laura Cee and today it's my job to post on this dumb account. Our scanner is broken and the only person who can fix it (Ellsyx) is off. Amherst said I should update the news section instead. I added a screencap here. But totally read the whole thing on our site ⬇️

- Hello, everyone. Today's update has some very... personal significance, to a certain member of the Institute. (-: I asked them what they thought of it. They said it was like hearing someone speak of their past life. Interesting, indeed. The link is below. What do you think?
- Usually I update the site at the very end of my workday. But since I'm busy after work today, this time I'm updating first thing in the morning. You know the drill. Excerpt here, link below. Now time for a coffee... berelyse.org/archives/576/ -Ellsyx
- This week's update is a short one, but it's one I personally like. I have never really been able to relate to Jasmine. Sometimes I struggle to empathize with her given what she's like. But this entry... it really makes me feel for her. Excerpt is here, and link is in the replies. -Ellsyx
- This week's update is a recreation of one of Spica's letters. We don't have many in the earlier portions of the exhibit, but she wrote often, and we are incredibly grateful for all we have later on! An excerpt is included here, as is the site link. berelyse.org/archives/563/ -AP
- This week's update is live. We don't have any images of the weapons described here on the site, but we do have a few of them on display in the physical exhibit. They're pretty cool. Anyways, enjoy. berelyse.org/archives/559/ -Ellsyx
- This week's update is of a very unique record in our archive! The vast majority of our records come from the same few people, so it's always thrilling to showcase something so rare. (-: As always, an excerpt is attached here, as well the update's link. berelyse.org/archives/555/ Enjoy! -AP
