Not a website. Not a Google Drive. A permanent record.
When a family uploads their lineage records, ceremonial photographs or oral history to the HeritageMetrics archive, those files are stored permanently on the our institutional archive partner's infrastructure. Not on a subscription. Not on a platform that can change its policy. Permanently. Every file carries a unique MD5 digital fingerprint. If anyone attempts to alter the record, it is instantly detectable - the same verification standard used by national museums and legal archives worldwide.
Storage paid once, never expires. The our institutional archive partner holds an endowment to fund storage costs in perpetuity. No renewal risk.
Public, Private and Sealed. Every file is set individually. Sealed files are locked until succession - visible to no one until formally transferred.
Every archive names a Legacy Steward. When the current custodian transitions, the digital keys pass to the proper heir - automatically and formally.
Eight archive categories. Every community has a home.
The HeritageMetrics archive uses a proprietary filing taxonomy. Every family and institution is assigned a unique filing code that makes it permanently searchable and institutionally authoritative.
Throne lineage, succession protocols, kingmaker records, coronation documentation. The most comprehensive archive in the HeritageMetrics system.
Historic military lineages, Balogun family records, warlord succession chains. Includes the Kuku Dynasty archive - documentation begun June 2026.
Equestrian heritage records, Elesin family lineages, horse culture documentation from the Ojude Oba tradition.
Chieftaincy title records, noble family lineages, installation documentation and succession evidence.
Community institution records, age-grade society documentation, Regberegbe participation archives.
Annual festival documentation, oral histories, photography, media intelligence reports. Ojude Oba 2026 is the first full archive entry.
Institutional collection records, museum digital twins, provenance documentation for West African cultural objects.
Sealed cross-category records for the Ijebu Interregnum. Accessible only to designated custodians under the Legacy Steward Protocol.
