This is a private collection, open to any interested person.
Research inquiries. Questions about any object, its provenance, or its references are welcome and answered. If you are researching one of the named people in these pages (an inscription, a prize stamp, a plaque), I would be especially glad to hear from you; several of them are open research questions.
Viewing. Objects can be viewed in person by arrangement, within reason. Write first.
Citation. Each object's web address is permanent and serves as its citation. Cite as: Object name, The Meridian, collection of Yulan Galagoda, meridian.yulan.me/collection/[slug]. Item IDs (MERID-n) are stable and may be quoted in correspondence.
Images. Photographs of objects in this archive may be used freely for non-commercial research, education, and publication with the credit The Meridian / Yulan Galagoda. For commercial use, or for high-resolution files, write to me. Note that for some objects (photographs, maps, printed pages) the underlying works are long out of copyright; the courtesy requested covers the archive's own photography and catalogue text.
Corrections. If you can show that anything in this catalogue is wrong, you will have my sincere thanks and a prompt correction. The catalogue records its own uncertainties deliberately.
