-**Q: How is the website made?**
-George Varnavides wrote the code for the website. The 2018 version uses precomputed images at different magnifications. The 2020 and 2024 versions use vector tiles to implement a navigation-like interface. Learn more about the name search implementation
here.

-**Q: Will you be adding new students/faculty/staff and recent graduate names?**
-We have not settled on a definite plan for adding in recent graduates and new faculty/staff, but we're planning to generate a new version every couple years.
