Media Coverage

A dedicated section in a weekly AI-genealogy newsletter, built around the project's own double-transcription method as a worked example of why independent AI passes need to be compared rather than trusted on their first, most plausible-looking answer.

A profile built around the same verification method the project is known for — cross-referencing multiple independent AI transcription systems and marking uncertain passages rather than accepting a confident misreading — framed through Sam's emigration from Latvia, his struggles in Montreal, and the family's eventual fur-trade business in London.

A print feature on how the archive came together — finding the box in storage, the checks the project used against AI hallucination, and Sam's own 1901 story of passing as an "Austrian Christian" to get hired in Montreal. Ran across two pages in the September 4 print edition.

A storage room discovery and a little curiosity became a digital archive tracing love, migration and family across generations. Ran simultaneously on all four outlets — same Glacier Media network, same story.

An amusing find: an AI-generated news podcast — not a real outlet, its own episode notes admit “this is an automated, high-level news summary based on public reporting” — found and summarized the Vancouver Sun coverage of an AI project.

A feature on how the archive came together — finding the box in storage, translating the Yiddish courtship letters, and the checks the project used against AI hallucination — built around Paul's own account of Sam and Dora's story.

Called it “a really beautiful bit of family history work, and a decent example of ‘AI, but used well,’” while noting the site's own AI-generated prose still reads as mechanical in places.

Paul's first broadcast interview about the archive, on CBC's Vancouver afternoon-drive show.

An organic pickup the same day as the On the Coast interview — never directly pitched to this show.
