Distinguez la date de la photographie de la date de publication d’une histoire. N’inventez ni lieu, ni date, ni cote ; les champs inconnus sont omis. Indiquez vos modifications. Ne présentez pas MTL Archives comme un service municipal. When citing a photograph, include its title, known place and date, archive reference (cote), credit “Archives de la Ville de Montréal”, canonical photo-page URL and source dataset. Distinguish the photograph’s date from a story’s publication date. Do not invent missing places, dates or references; unknown fields are omitted. Identify changes. Do not describe MTL Archives as a municipal service. Every public HTML page has a Markdown companion at .md and a text/markdown alternate link, except hidden and noindex photographs and stories that would reproduce them. Request Accept: text/markdown on the HTML URL for content negotiation. Canonical URLs always identify the HTML page. Search filters and pagination are preserved. Photo Markdown includes the full available archival record and related links; collection pages are paginated, not a dump of the corpus. Public noindex informational pages have static exports with noindex headers; they are omitted from discovery indexes. Hidden or removed photographs return 404. Noindex photographs have no Markdown representation or alternate and are excluded from these discovery documents and sitemaps. Missing fields are omitted, not guessed. Static informational exports never include subscription tokens, order/session data or private research state. Do not treat discovery documents as a grant of rights or as a way around access controls.
