Media Library

A place for selected audio, video and visual references, with provenance and rights kept visible.

Example: Keep a public-domain film reference beside the historical narrative it supports.

Media Library

A rights-first register of the audio, video and images you own or are permitted to use, so a narrative never rests on an unclear licence.

Browser-local. Atlas does not download, copy, host or scrape media from any source. Reference cards are links you open yourself.

Narratives of Belonging

Films from around the world about love of land, home and country. Free-licence only — each one plays from the public archive, Atlas keeps no copy.

Reference sources

Well-known libraries with open or public-domain material. Atlas has no integration with them: each card opens the site in a new tab and you verify the licence there.
