EVIDENCE, NOT JUST ANSWERS

Keep the source
in the picture.

A useful answer is only the beginning. Inspect available source metadata, follow publisher links, and compare record integrity where hashes are available.

THE PROVENANCE PRINCIPLE
  1. 01

    Start at the source.

    Check the original publisher and the context of the record.

  2. 02

    Inspect the evidence.

    Metadata and hashes vary by source and record.

  3. 03

    Know the limits.

    A hash checks integrity, not authenticity or reuse rights. Source terms still apply.
