The Meridian
Living archive of antiques, books, and historical objects.
Personal digital reliquary: a curated, research-backed catalogue of antiques and historical items. Each entry is documented with provenance, condition, valuation notes, and reference material. The site is the public face of an extensive private Notion database and showcases how a careful schema, oxblood-and-cream visual language, and editorial writing turn a personal collection into something genuinely useful. Curation, schema, and copy mine; site code written by Perplexity, Claude Opus 4.7, and Claude Sonnet 4.6 under direction.
What it involved

- Oxblood and cream visual language inspired by leather-bound archives
- Replaces the earlier Reliquary (the-reliquary.pages.dev) with a refined rebuild
- Published at meridian.yulan.me on Cloudflare Pages from a Notion-backed pipeline
