HSKRC is an independent digital cultural and research project created for worldwide access. It preserves, organises and connects historical knowledge through a digital library, research articles, source-led knowledge pages, bilingual access and online research tools that can be used from anywhere in the world.

What has changed through HSKRC?
HSKRC has made historical resources easier to locate in one public archive, created bilingual reading routes and published a community heritage record. These are demonstrated outputs. The live counters below show activity; the effect on learning, research or heritage conservation requires separate evidence.
For readers and students
English and Persian introductions connect historical topics to sources and further reading. The benefit to each reader can be reported through the experience form.
For community contributors
Local accounts can be documented with attribution and visible research limits, instead of remaining an unpublished account.
For researchers
Bibliographic records, a source registry and article references provide routes to inspect evidence. No time-saving or research-quality improvement has yet been quantified here.
Evidence status
Published outputs and website activity are available. Evaluated learning outcomes, independently verified conservation results and an approved testimonial series are not yet published in this report.
What HSKRC currently provides
These are working parts of the project that can be demonstrated directly on the website.
01
Digital Library
A growing structured collection of books and research materials with searchable bibliographic information.
02
Research & Knowledge
Articles, knowledge nodes and the Research Explorer connect topics, researchers and identifiable sources.
03
Bilingual Access
English and Persian interfaces help make the collection easier to use for people with different language preferences.
04
Source Transparency
HSKRC is being built around traceable sources and separates documented evidence from interpretation where possible.
Live Achievements
These figures are read automatically from the HSKRC research database. When a published book, article, research source, knowledge node or researcher is added, this section updates automatically.
—Published BooksPublic books currently available in the HSKRC collection.
—Article worksTranslations grouped as one work.
—Article language versionsEach published language version is a database record.
—Research SourcesTraceable source records in the research network.
—Knowledge NodesStructured topics and historical knowledge nodes.
—ResearchersScholars whose work is represented; listing does not imply affiliation.
—Research RecordsBooks + article language versions + sources + nodes + scholar records. Static profiles are excluded.

Public Value & SDG Alignment
HSKRC keeps core research access free and connects its public value to education and cultural heritage.
SDG 4 · Quality Education
Improves access to organised research material, bilingual educational content and traceable scholarly sources.
SDG 11.4 · Cultural Heritage
Supports documentation, awareness and digital preservation of places, texts, people and historical records linked to Alamut and Nizari Ismaili heritage.
Global reach, with a local connection
HSKRC is designed for readers, researchers, students and communities worldwide. At the same time, the project is being developed in Victoria and can also contribute locally by making cultural and historical knowledge more accessible to diverse communities in and around Greater Dandenong.
HSKRC does not claim impact that has not yet been measured. As the project grows, worldwide usage, community participation, feedback, collaborations and local engagement will be documented here with verifiable evidence.
Achievements & Milestones
Permanent project milestones are listed below, while the live milestone panel updates automatically as the collection grows.

2026
HSKRC established onlineThe independent digital research and knowledge environment was launched and began expanding its public collection.
2026
Digital Library and research collectionBooks, research material and published articles were organised into dedicated public sections.
2026
Research Explorer and Source RegistryNew tools were added to connect research topics with researchers and traceable references.
2026
Accessibility improvementsBilingual English–Persian access, responsive layouts and dark/light display modes were introduced across the site.
Three examples that can be checked
01 · Community heritage
From a local account to a public record
A contributor shared a family/community account and a banknote image. HSKRC assembled these into the bilingual Lakhshom Qala profile, distinguishing testimony from independently documented history.
Available evidence: public profile, attributed account and supplied image. Still needed: dated interviews, site photographs and archival corroboration. This record does not establish a conservation outcome.
The Alamut guide was revised on 29 October 2026 in English and Persian with section headings, numbered references, seven bibliography entries and an editorial revision note.
Available evidence: both revised articles and their linked references. Readers can inspect the basis of claims. Independent scholarly peer review and reader comprehension gains have not yet been documented.
The Fatimid collection connects an era overview to Cairo, al-Azhar, cities, architecture, scholars and a source guide. Readers can move between a historical subject and its wider setting.
Available evidence: linked public pages and source guidance. This is a published educational resource; classroom adoption and learning outcomes have not yet been evaluated in this report.
Live database counts; each translation group is one article work. Static heritage and biography pages are outside this total.
Website activity
Visits and page views
Cloudflare Web Analytics through the site’s cumulative endpoint; refresh requested every 60 seconds. These are not unique people or an independently audited audience estimate.
Reader-reported benefit
Resource used, purpose and reported change
Collect through the private experience form. Label as self-reported; check examples or supporting material before publishing a case study.
Heritage documentation
Attribution, dates, permissions and corroboration
Inspect the published record and identify unresolved claims. Publishing a profile alone does not demonstrate physical preservation.
Institutional collaboration
Agreed activity and documented result
Publish only after agreement and permission to identify the partner. An enquiry, meeting or external link is not a formal partnership.
Data limitations: cumulative traffic depends on the monitoring period and the provider’s collection and filtering rules. Refresh time is the time HSKRC retrieved the response, not an independent audit date. Missing or stale data must not be interpreted as zero activity.
Tell us how you used HSKRC
Did a source help your research, an article clarify a topic, or a heritage record preserve an account you know? Share a specific example, including what did not help. Negative and mixed experiences are useful too.
Which page or resource did you use, and approximately when?
What were you trying to learn, teach, research or document?
What changed as a result? Give one concrete example or say if nothing changed.
Messages go to HSKRC’s existing private feedback channel. Sending feedback does not grant permission to publish your name or quote you. Separate permission and editorial verification are required before publication.
Review and next evidence priorities
Evidence report updated: 29 October 2026. Responsible publisher: HSKRC. The next review should distinguish submissions received, submissions evaluated and cases approved for publication; these must not be reported as the same number.
Next evidence priorities: evaluate reader experiences, document the provenance of community contributions, obtain independent subject review and record any agreed institutional activity with its actual result. A future dated report can compare like-for-like figures against a preserved baseline.
