The Record No One Assigned

A field guide to what a neighbourhood tracks without being told to.

A research-showcase brochure follows the informal records a neighbourhood keeps without being asked to --- a street-library correspondence thread, a community-garden waitlist, a dog-park gate tally --- back into three published studies of how faithfully each record matches the thing it's supposed to be keeping track of.
