How we edit festival records
How the HESFES Archive dates its sources, distinguishes plans from recollections, checks current listings and handles proposed corrections.
Programmes and memories
A programme records what organisers planned. A ticket notice can establish an advertised price. Neither establishes that a particular activity took place. Where available, we look for accounts written after the event and identify whose experience they describe. A recollection from a single family can tell us what their week felt like without speaking for everyone at the festival.
We write new descriptions and link to the evidence. Historical prices are labelled by year. We avoid reproducing personal booking details from old notices. The sources page lists starting points for readers doing their own research.
New writing and activities
Serallo Domains Ltd publishes the independent HESFES Archive. AI assistance is used in drafting and revision. Our original workshop instructions, fictional examples and planning prompts are new editorial material, not a recovered programme or evidence that we ran the original festival. We do not invent visits, interviews, learning outcomes or external expert approval. A practical worksheet organises a task; it does not certify educational provision.
Current event details
For a future event we use the organiser's own information. Listings link back so families can check dates, eligibility, access and availability before making plans. We distinguish the old HESFES programme from events run by other organisations.
Correcting a record
Use the correction form with the page title, the detail that needs changing and a source we can check. A programme title, issue date or page number is especially helpful when the evidence is in print. We amend the record where the evidence warrants it and explain significant conflicts on the relevant page.
