# Modern Graphic Design Archive

> Modern Graphic Design Archive is a rights-aware reading and research interface, not a complete history of graphic design. Dai Pan leads the project’s research, data governance, design and implementation, with AI-assisted development and verification.

Index, Search and Object records support public reading. Context Canvas and Exploration distinguish recorded context, validated associations and open inquiries. Spacetime is not released.

7,995 public records include 5,423 reader-facing objects and 2,572 record-only entries. Normal Search and Index browse reader-facing objects; exact identifier Search can retrieve public record-only entries. Held material is not a public reading resource. Metadata publication does not grant image reuse or training rights.
