Cedarcrest in Newington, formerly a state tuberculosis sanatorium and later a mental-health hospital. Early photographs and documents are public-domain publication scans. Later psychiatric history is summarized with attribution; protected modern photographs are provided only as links.

Includes catalog records, credits, acquired OCR where available and a SQLite FTS5 database. Images with relative filenames are bundled. Newly added photographs at https://silentgroundscollective-uyjaw.wordpress.com are hosted in the SGC media library and require an internet connection; they are not embedded in this ZIP. Complete repository PDFs and modern external articles are linked, not included. Coverage and missing records are described in each collection’s scope and individual item notes.

RESEARCH DATABASE
items stores the catalog; search_fts indexes source text. Example: SELECT id,title FROM search_fts WHERE search_fts MATCH 'history';
