This portal rests on cited sources. Every statement in the texts carries its footnote, and every note its origin: 351 notes across 31 documents. This page brings together where everything comes from: the data, the bibliography, the cartography and the images.

Images · 346 published
One row per image, with its origin and the date it was copied. It is both the credit and the review list: none of these images has a verified licence; they are published under editorial responsibility and are removed at the request of anyone who can show rights over them.
They come from two places. From euskalkultura.eus, which declares no open licence. And from euskaletxeak.eus, the website of the federation of centres, which declares its content under Creative Commons BY 3.0; that notice covers the whole site and does not establish who holds the rights to each photograph, so these too are published on the same basis. Where a photograph came with a description at its origin, it is kept as alternative text: many of them show not the premises but a festival, a Basque language class or a board meeting.
How the text is produced
The texts are editorial syntheses produced with the help of artificial intelligence, based on research with cited sources. The method is the same across the 31 documents: the sources are located and read, checked against one another, and anything that could not be verified is not published. When two reliable sources disagree, the text gives both and says whose each figure is.
The English version is translated from the Spanish with the help of artificial intelligence and is awaiting human review.
It is stated here, in plain sight, and not in a legal notice: on a reference portal, transparency about method is part of what is offered.
