Restored pages of the site

Updated September 28, 2026

This page collects materials of the site that were once published at their own addresses and are gathered here again. Some of them were referred to from outside, so the addresses have been kept as they were and the links to them still work.

The list below is in no particular order of importance. Each entry carries the title of the page and the opening of its text, so that it is clear what stands behind the link before opening it. The section is added to as further material is put back in place, and it is the shortest way to the older part of the site.

If a link brought you here rather than to the page you expected, that page is most likely in the list: its address has been preserved, while the page itself is shown in the current design of the site rather than in the one it was first published in.

Everything here belongs to this site. Nothing has been brought in from elsewhere, and nothing has been rewritten to say something the original did not say: the text is the text that stood at that address, set in the pages the site uses today.
