recovered + being updated
US jewelry, metals, and CAD-CAM teaching programs and the people who taught them — the old Tyler School of Art directory, brought current. 840 people across 450 programs; the 784 in bold have a page. Degree-granting programs and their faculty come first; craft schools, studios, and workshops follow.
🔥 see them on the map → ↳ the lineage & timeline →Each built page sets the archived 2014 entry beside today's facts, with the teachers, students, and programs that connect it to the rest of the directory.
Names in grey don't have a page yet — held back pending a clearer source (the archived listing is the trusted baseline; anything newer is checked against a citation). Some are low-confidence or disputed on purpose, left visible rather than guessed at.
How we know, and how to fix us. Every page lists its sources — the institution's own site, an obituary, or a Wayback capture — and says when it was last checked. Spot something wrong? Every bio has a ✎ edit this bio link (GitHub forks and opens a pull request for you), or open an issue with the correction and a source. Corrections to your own entry are authoritative — and if a living person asks to be edited or removed, that's honored, no questions.
Mirror & extend this. The whole project is open source — the database (acmet.db),
the build scripts, and the recovered archive all live in one repo:
github.com/philrenato/acmet-l2.
Clone it, open the folder with an LLM (Claude Code or similar), and pick up where this left off —
add people, verify claims, fix a record, or rescope it past metals. Start with
MIRROR.md.
Nobody needs permission to be in a directory; living people get a say before anything new goes public.
