# AAHub traditional MLT text-art archive

Source: https://aahub.org/ ; public data service: https://aa-storage.aahub.org/ . Current-index snapshot 32.4, dated 2026-11-02. Source-index SHA-256, per-theme generation IDs, compressed-object MD5, source SHA-256, per-part SHA-256 and original links are recorded in `/data/archive/manifest.json`.

This is a bounded selection of 73,079 actual source artwork records across 402 themes (generic figures, objects, backgrounds and 2ch characters). It completed the site's earlier 250,000-entry baseline. Bulk collection remains stopped; a later user-requested reference-site extension is accounted separately in the root manifest. Source file counts and headings are not counted as artwork entries.

Original creators retain their rights. Embedded artwork signatures and original-source links are retained. No blanket MIT, CC0 or other open-data license is asserted for the third-party artwork. The software licenses bundled in the source website are not used as artwork licenses.

Transformations: normalize line endings and tab widths, remove trailing whitespace, reject explicit adult-marked paths/sections, invalid control characters, headings/prose and NFC/whitespace-equivalent duplicates across the entire existing catalogue. No photo conversion, synthetic permutations or added artwork content. Automatic metadata/structure filtering is not a claim that every work was manually reviewed. Each retained body was verified against its original source record.

The collection and verification programs are included alongside this file as importer.py and verifier.py. They are supplied for inspection and reproducibility; active importers stop when collection_stopped is set in the site's manifest. Raw source objects were checksum-verified over HTTPS, including stored gzip payloads; integrity checks were not disabled.

Browse themes by name. Opening a theme fetches only the required page parts, not the complete archive. Searches inside an opened theme scan that theme's text; global searches match archive theme names and metadata, not all unopened artwork bodies. Japanese AA may require compatible Japanese fonts in the destination app. Copying retains the entire source artwork rather than only the visible preview.
