THE STEVEN SCHREMBECK ARCHIVE
Caretaker guide - October 10, 2026

OPEN THE COLLECTION
Unzip the complete archive and open START-HERE.html in a web browser.
The site works from ordinary HTML, CSS, JavaScript and media files. Reading,
search, file downloads and supported audio/video playback work without an
account, database, external font service, or analytics. JavaScript enhances
search and menus; the content and ordinary links remain usable without it.
MKV recordings may need a compatible desktop video player.

WHAT IS INCLUDED
The website, 19 captured articles (17 reading pages and two source captures
marked Unpublished), 64 MP3 recordings, 24 videos, two personal photographs,
artwork, source records, transcripts, and the original memorial exports.
The raw collection is preserved under collection-files/.
The archive home base links to Jeff Cameron's original remembrance instead
of republishing that post as the story of Steven's life.

KEEP INDEPENDENT COPIES
Give the complete ZIP and its SHA256SUMS file to two trusted people.
Keep at least one additional copy on an offline drive. Check the files after
copying. Keep this guide with every copy. Hosting accounts are convenient
publication surfaces, not a guarantee of permanent preservation.

VERIFY
SHA256SUMS.txt in collection-files/ records the original archive's checksums.
SHA256SUMS-COMPLETE.txt records every file in this edition. Verify them with
a SHA-256 checker, or `shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS-COMPLETE.txt` from the
extracted root. The original inventory may predate later additions.
The package's external checksum verifies the ZIP itself.

PUBLISH AGAIN
Any static file server can serve the extracted root, including the media.
The full collection is too large for GitHub Pages. Use an object store for
large media and a static website host, preserving the relative URLs. The
provided Cloudflare Pages Worker serves /collection-files/ from R2; the
frontend remains ordinary files. No database is used. The deployment scripts
are retained in the GitHub repository, not in the public download.
Do not upload .private/, credentials, or local deployment configuration.

SOURCES AND DATES
Original URLs are linked beside the archived files when recorded. Podcast
dates are feed publication dates; YouTube dates are upload dates; article
dates are source Created time, which is not always publication time; talk
dates come from recording filenames and embedded metadata. Unknown dates
are left unknown. Machine transcripts can contain errors and are labeled.

PRESERVATION STATUS
No Internet Archive, Wayback, or Perma.cc submission has been made by this
build. When captures are created, record the exact URLs and check every
important page and its media. Do not assume a homepage capture includes the
whole site. The original collection notes document known missing items.

ADDING CONTENT
Keep original files and source URLs. Record dates and attribution without
guessing. Add new memories with their contributor's name. Keep publication
permission with your private custody records. Avoid deleting older originals
when making more convenient reading, listening or viewing copies.

GITHUB COPY
https://github.com/jcameronjeff/steven-schrembeck-memorial
Install Git LFS, clone the repository, and run git lfs pull to retrieve all
recordings. The collection/ folder holds the complete source archive.
GitHub Releases also provides normal ZIP parts; extract all parts into the
same folder. The smaller GitHub Pages edition links to full media in GitHub LFS.

RELATED WORKS
The Basement in the Attic (2020) and the Inside Your House adaptation are
linked without saved copies. Lighthouse Horror’s adaptation is saved.
