About the foundation
Built for the long work of public knowledge.
Unhistoric Acts Foundation is the public-facing identity of Unhistoric Acts Inc., an independent public-interest organization developing durable, open infrastructure for consequential public records.
Who we are
A home for useful work that institutions overlook.
We work where civic importance and institutional neglect meet. Our focus is the information infrastructure beneath public understanding: the records, standards, tools, and editorial practices that let people see what their institutions are doing.
The foundation is designed to support patient, technically serious work with a clear public purpose. We aim to earn trust through transparent methods, modest claims, and products that remain useful after the initial attention has passed.

How we intend to operate
Accountable by design.
Responsible independence
Funding should not dictate editorial findings, conceal conflicts, or narrow the public we serve.
Privacy and care
Public records work still requires judgment about personal information, security, and foreseeable harm.
Durable stewardship
We will plan for maintenance, portability, and succession rather than treating launch as completion.
