Reference Guide
What each site type means in Atlas of Memory.
These labels are editorial categories for how a place is represented on the map. They help keep the atlas consistent while still leaving room for historical nuance.
How to use this
Each type includes a definition, when to use it, when not to use it, and a few examples from the current dataset.
New type proposals are not open yet. For now, taxonomy changes stay curated so the map remains coherent.
