Back When Daily

How we tell our stories

Our articles combine original reflective writing with sourced historical details. Memories differ by place, family, and generation; a familiar experience should not be mistaken for a universal one.

AI assistance and factual checks

AI tools assist with drafting, editing, and building this publication. The launch articles were checked against the sources linked beneath each story. We do not invent interviews, expert quotes, or personal memories and present them as reporting.

Sources and photographs

We prefer museums, archives, and original records for historical facts. Photographs of older objects may have been taken recently. Captions distinguish an archival image from a modern illustration and identify models where that distinction matters.

Images are credited to their creators with links to source pages and applicable licenses. The photo credits page brings those records together.

Independent publishing

Our launch stories are not sponsored, and this version contains no affiliate links or advertising scripts. Any future sponsored content or affiliate links should be clearly disclosed where they appear.
