HUMAN GT · A LIVING ARCHIVE

Verified by source. Claimed by you.

Human GT rebuilds the records of people who shape their communities but never post about it. The teacher. The local doctor. The organizer. The working artist. Sourced from public record. Owned by their subjects.

01 — Why now

The infrastructure that documented quiet lives is collapsing.

02 — What we're building

Real records
instead of hallucinated ones.

Human GT auto-drafts records of working people from sources that already exist. Each record carries its sources next to its facts. Subjects verify, edit, expand, decline, or remove what is there.

Because your contribution matters.

01 / METHOD

Auto-drafted from public records.

Local papers, civic registries, professional archives, published bios. We don't create new data about people. We reassemble what was already there before it disappears.

02 / PROVENANCE

Every fact lives next to its source.

Provenance is the product. Click any claim, see where it came from. If we can't source it, it doesn't appear in the record.

03 / CONTROL

Subjects are in control.

Verify, edit, expand, decline, remove. Your record is yours. We notify you when one is drafted. You decide what stays.

04 / ACCESS

Free. Permanent. Open.

A public good, not a product. No ads. No subscription. No paywall. No data sales. Funded by grants and individual contributors.

03 — Who is here

Real people. Named. Dated. Sourced.

Three records from the archive. Each one a person who shaped something local.

RECORD 01 · LAGOS · 2008–PRESENT

Margaret Okafor

Runs a community health clinic in eastern Lagos. Two hundred patients a week, seventeen years in.

Trained at Lagos State University Teaching Hospital. Three of her residents now lead public health divisions in three countries. The clinic operates out of a converted accounting office; the waiting room is the same room as her office.

RECORD 02 · BRENTWOOD · 1978–2019

Annie "Mrs. D" Davis

Taught chemistry at Brentwood High School for 41 years, retiring in 2019.

Three of her students became doctors. One ran for state senate. One came back to teach in the same classroom. The yearbook archive was digitized in 2022 and taken down when the school's IT vendor changed.

RECORD 03 · ACCRA · 2017–PRESENT

Adaeze Okonkwo

Runs a Saturday reading circle for market women in Makola. Five years. Two hundred and forty graduates.

It started when a vendor asked her to read a delivery slip on a slow afternoon. By 2020 it was forty women in a back room, then sixty. The first cohort returned this year as teachers. She still pays for the chalk herself.
