Choose the field first, then follow the right path.
Not every researcher starts from the same place. Some verify images, some inspect domains, some check social media claims. This page separates the archive into clear working areas.

Research through web pages, archives, official records, news, and public datasets.
OSINT means collecting information from public sources and reporting it in a way that can be checked. This is the main starting point for beginners.
