Fidelity

◕Authoritative print

Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report of the Seventy-Second Semi-Annual Conference (October 1901), hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1901sa). OCR corrected by hand (running heads and line-break hyphenation removed, paragraphing restored, obvious OCR errors corrected). Not yet proofread line-by-line against page images. Grade reflects the officially published Conference Report.

Witnesses

No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.

Collation history

Proofread against the source text.

Light review: in-context proofread, 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: collated against the djvu OCR of conferencereport1901sa. Removed a stray topic-list byline fragment that had bled into the start of the body (the real topic-header line, not the speaker's words); set/updated the source_url page anchor to the talk's confirmed real opening via IA search-inside. Body otherwise matches the OCR witness verbatim.
