Historical series on paper
Archive reconstruction
Scattered ledgers and yearbooks drawn into a single readable series, with every join and missing year marked on the sheet.
A trend cannot be discovered in a pile of unmatched notebooks. Archive reconstruction is the slow work of lining up units, years, and districts until a series can be drawn without lying about the joins.
Giorgi Tsereteli reads the papers first: different kilos, different fiscal years, a district that changed its border, a month that was counted twice. The chart that follows shows every join. A missing year is a break, not a smooth line.
We do not restore the physical ledgers. We do not stamp them as authentic. We draw what the papers can support, and we write where they cannot.
