Evidence claims:
- [sourced_fact] Repo metadata: archived=true, license CC0-1.0, last push 2021-12-21. · locator: GitHub API fields archived, license, pushed_at · source: https://api.github.com/repos/Smithsonian/OpenAccess
- [sourced_fact] README maintenance note (12-21-21): transitioned away from GitHub for the compressed archive, now on the Registry of Open Data on AWS; describes over 11 million metadata records organised by unit as line-delimited JSON. · locator: README, maintenance note and overview · source: https://github.com/Smithsonian/OpenAccess
- [upstream_claim] Research review verdict at export: reviewed (as of 2026-10-17). Recorded by the research pipeline, not a hub review outcome; evidence.review stays unreviewed until an independent reviewer records one.
