Conference record · 1831 June General Conference · 1831-06-03
Preferred witness preserves conference minutes or a later narrative summary rather than full sermon transcripts; import remains fragmentary because discrete complete talks are not recoverable from the available text.
Does not preserve full sermon text.
Later narrative history describing the conference and ordinations.
Proofread against the source text.
Light review: in-context proofread, encoding-artifact cleanup, synopsis/session-artifact cleanup, and spacing fixes. NOT a full page-by-page scan collation.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: JSP source URLs verified as Minute Book 2 p.4 and History A-1 p.118, the correct pages for this conference. Both witnesses collated word-for-word against the JSP page transcripts (fetched directly, not jod.mrm.org). Fixed one transcription typo: 'melchisedec' corrected to the manuscript's actual spelling 'melechisedec'. Otherwise an exact match, including editorial reading of canceled/inserted words (e.g. Book of Commandments-era angle-bracket insertions rendered plain). The 3rd-vs-6th-of-June date noted between the two witnesses is a known discrepancy in the sources themselves, not a vault error; date_precision left as-is. Metadata confirmed accurate.
This is a living critical edition. If you find a transcription, metadata, or sourcing error in this talk, report it to the editors →Reports are collated against the page scan and land as corrections in the vault.
