A descendant knows the ancestral village.
Villages → village material → Genealogy → Maps → photographs and historical collections.
Start with place, then connect family records to the landscape and archive.
A descendant knows a surname but not the village.
Genealogy → census / naturalization / Galicia resources → surname and village variants → Village Index.
Work from records toward geography rather than guessing the place first.
A visitor wants to hear Lemko music.
Music → LemkoHUB for listening → return to LEMKO.org for historical context, records and collections.
Use each platform for what it does best instead of rebuilding obsolete players.
A listener discovers Lemko Wedding.
Lemko Wedding → 1928–30 78 rpm history → preserved press coverage → Canary Records restoration → LemkoHUB presentation.
A recording becomes a documented preservation story spanning almost a century.
A researcher needs sources.
Scholarship → Research Archive → historical collections → Citing LEMKO.org.
Move from modern orientation to original documents, then record exactly what was used.
A visitor simply wants to discover something.
Featured Stories → person / village / event → original collection → related modern path.
Let stories reveal the archive without requiring prior knowledge of Lemko history.
Design goal: there is no single “correct” route through LEMKO.org. The same historical source can belong to several meaningful journeys.
