Where can I find my PDC online; the document not a course?

I took a PDC course about a decade ago.  Daaang! has it really been that long?

I filed a copy of my design and certificate with a place that kept records of such things.  I thought it was filed with The Permaculture Research Institute, but I'm not finding the list of certificate holders on their site.  Can someone help?  If a missing certificate buried under 10 years of clickbait, misinformation, bot generated nonsense, and a broken G**gle isn't what was meant by PDC artifiacts, feel free to move this post to a more appropriate spot.

Thanks!

Do you remember who you took the PDC course from?

Maybe give them a call to see if you can get a copy of your certificate.

I would also suggest calling The Permaculture Research Institute to ask if what you are remembering even existed and if so, can you be directed as to where to find that.

I finally found it at permacultureglobal.org.  (It was linked from PRI)

I took the PDC from PermaEthos which now seems defunct.  Jack Spirko started it with a few other guys and Josiah Wallingford bought out the shares from the rest, but nothing really happened there after that except a few episodes of Permaculture Smackdown with Paul, and maybe the plant propagation course with Nick Ferguson.  

Last time I accessed the site, I think I was able to access a full PDF of my design submission and the certificate.  It shows a thumbnail of the project and a general description in my profile there, but I haven't been able to access the full PDF.  I did just recently upgrade to a paid subscription to the platform.

Do they have an active email?

Might be worth trying in case there is information that is still on hand but not publicly accessible.
