A dossier is every mention of a name anywhere in this archive's data, gathered automatically and linked back to the page it appears on, with what the archive knows about the person set out at the top.

Rebuilt from the roster, so every person the archive can name has a page — including the ones read straight off a register that no index anywhere contains.
