Conference record · 1834 May General Conference · 1834-05-03

Fidelity

○Fragmentary

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.

Witnesses

Does not preserve full sermon text.

Collation history

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 URL verified as Minutes, 3 May 1834, p.160. Text collated word-for-word against the JSP page transcript (fetched directly, not jod.mrm.org) -- exact match, including the all-caps church name and signature block. Historical-introduction claim about non-extant drafts confirmed against the same page's editorial note. Metadata confirmed accurate.
