Server instructions

Arkivism is a semantic search index over public-domain visual media (museums, archives, NASA — all CC0/PD, safe for any use including commercial). Use search_archive for natural-language queries about subject, mood, medium, or era; find_similar to explore visually from any result; get_item for full detail; archival_echo for reverse-image search from any image URL; get_download_url for the full-resolution file. The arkivism://sources resource lists the archives in the index with live counts. Every item includes ready-to-paste attribution — include it when you use an image.
