## Notes

- Le Monde live extraction was too thin, so the 2012 Wayback snapshot was used.
- L'Express live extraction was too thin, so the 2026 Wayback snapshot was used.
- WikiLeaks live and Wayback captures were both stored.
- Google Meet, Google Calendar, Gmail, and support/schema/signature URLs were not fetched as research content. The relevant meeting `.ics` file was already stored under `resources/attachments/`.
- `theoathofcyriac` links remain excluded as irrelevant signature/footer context.

## Additional source discovery pass — 2026-05-05

Additional sources were found from the themes in Le Monde and L'Express: Assad email-cache reporting, Asma/AAA naming, public-image construction, Syria Trust, NGO/humanitarian capture, and political economy.

### Guardian Assad email-cache sources

The Guardian Open Platform was used for body extraction and local raw API/HTML captures. Wayback lookup did not return stable Wayback snapshots for the sampled Guardian URLs, so the local archive consists of Guardian API JSON + live Guardian HTML captures.

Archived locally:

- `sources/archived/extracted/guardian-assad-emails-key-correspondents.md`
- `sources/archived/extracted/guardian-how-know-assad-emails-genuine.md`
- `sources/archived/extracted/guardian-asma-signs-off-aaa.md`
- `sources/archived/extracted/guardian-to-asma-akhras.md`
- `sources/archived/extracted/guardian-syria-heritage-foundation-wound-up.md`
- `sources/archived/extracted/guardian-abc-interview.md`
- `sources/archived/extracted/guardian-worth-concideration.md`
- `sources/archived/extracted/guardian-asma-mothers-day-speech.md`
- `sources/archived/extracted/guardian-media-fooled-assads.md`

Archive.today candidates were available for the Guardian URLs but not fetched automatically because archive.today has no stable unauthenticated JSON API in this environment.

### Blocked / not ingested

- Duke University Press `The First Lady Phenomenon` page returned 403 and had no Wayback snapshot in lookup. It was not ingested.

The Duke page remained blocked/paywalled, but an alternate institutional repository record was found at King’s College London:

Related alternate page checked:

- Academia.edu page: https://www.academia.edu/85318196/The_First_Lady_Phenomenon  
  It exposed metadata/references and an `auto=download` link, but the KCL institutional PDF was cleaner and more provenance-stable.
