# The Kelvarra Almanac (1998)

The Kelvarra Almanac is corrected to the autumn of 1997 and is issued, as it has been without interruption for over a century, by the Almanac Office, Port Ilvess.[^s1]

The Almanac states its own editorial principle: that "a small country should at least be accurate about the large ones."[^s2]

Its 1998 edition gives [the Institute](../organizations/the-institute.md)'s founding year as 1952, differing from [Maren Aldervane](../persons/maren-aldervane.md)'s own memoir account of 1949 — see [The Institute](../organizations/the-institute.md) for the contradiction.[^s3]
