New work on primary documents

Editorial history

06/09/11, CSG: Created page


Overview

This page provides occasional updates on new work on primary documents. The updates are principally reports of newly identified primary sources of relevance to the wiki. This page does not report the completion and posting of new transcriptions of primary documents, which is an ongoing process.

The focus of work on the wiki for the last two months has been on the structure, the functionality and the look and feel of the wiki, rather than on new primary document content.

The acquisition of primary documents involves imaging the documents digitally where possible, followed by their summary and possible transcription. Digital images are held offline, unless otherwise noted and the licence conditions with the holders of the original documents permit. Some summaries and transcriptions have been posted to this wiki as examples of document types.
