## Description

This project is a content-addressable digital archive and historical text digitization tool. It provides a system for storing and retrieving verified historical texts, replacing low-quality image scans with human-verified text overlays to improve reading accuracy and accessibility.

The archive utilizes cryptographic hashes for content-addressing to ensure data integrity and verification of historical documents. It employs a local-first storage model, keeping digitized texts on the device for offline availability and fast access.

The system organizes book titles and page references through a structured JSON metadata index. It further maps digitized text files to specific image-based page coordinates to ensure precise document alignment for academic text research and archival retrieval.
