Layer 1
Historic Reagent Press
Old pages, slogans, press-logo walls, partner references, and Ruin Mist-era publishing context remain preserved as archive.
The larger record
Digital publishing is one chapter in a broader publishing-house story.
The company record includes retail, school, library, ebook, print, audio, education, children’s books, story worlds, professional materials, and historic web-era pages. This page makes that record legible without forcing the old homepage to carry the modern company identity.

Archive handling
The old current.html file remains part of the proof of continuity.
Rather than erase the early web-era presentation, the modern site turns it into a preserved historic page with clear context. That is the correct way to keep the record useful without confusing readers.
