GHP1989 Identity Pass note

historical scope · public history page and event archive · needs primary artifact recovery

GHP1989 is documented as the beginning of the Dutch hacker camp lineage, but no sourceable public record currently supports a specific electronic or hackable badge artifact.

The page keeps the origin point visible while marking the badge itself as an identity/pass record pending primary material recovery.

missing rights-cleared image · local project policy · needs licensed original replacement

No GHP1989 Identity Pass image is published because the current public source trail has not been paired with a reusable original badge or artifact photo or official upstream raster render with source URL, license or permission basis, attribution, and processing notes.

The Netherlands record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying source-page media, documentation screenshots, event photos, social media, placeholders, or generated approximations.
