<!-- USModernist sitemap index. Rebuilt 2026-09-13.

     PURPOSE OF THIS REBUILD: separate HTML from the PDF library so Googlebot's
     crawl allocation is spent on pages rather than magazine scans, and so
     Search Console reports the two populations separately.

     CHANGED FROM PREVIOUS VERSION:
     - sitemap-library.xml (33587 PDF URLs) REMOVED from this index. It is
       unchanged on the server and is now submitted by hand in Search Console
       instead. See NOTE below.
     - sitemap-archives.xml: 3067 -> 176 URLs. /archart/ and the PDFs were
       split out of it.
     - sitemap-archart.xml: NEW, 2836 URLs, split out of sitemap-archives.xml.
     - sitemap-media.xml: NEW, 55 PDF URLs, split out of sitemap-archives.xml.
       Not listed here and not listed in robots.txt.
     - sitemap-priority.xml: REMOVED from this index. All 250 of its URLs are
       already in sitemap-pages.xml, so listing it here duplicated them. It
       stays on the server and stays submitted separately for reporting.

     This index now covers 3627 URLs, all HTML, all verified 200 on 2026-09-13.
     The previous index covered 37519 entries, 33642 of which were PDFs.

     NOTE ON THE LIBRARY: a 120-file sample of the library averaged 36.8 MB per
     PDF (median 28.7 MB), about 1.2 TB in total against roughly 250 MB of HTML.
     Listing those 33587 URLs here was asserting they were as important to crawl
     as the pages. If page indexing has not improved after a few weeks, the next
     lever is to unsubmit sitemap-library.xml in Search Console entirely; the
     PDFs stay reachable through the index-*.htm pages either way. -->
