Fidelity

◕Authoritative print

Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report of the Seventy-Second Annual Conference (April 4-6, 1902), hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1902a). 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. Tier 2 header/metadata pass (2026-07-17, samuel-baird): rejoined attested midword-hyphenation line-wrap artifact(s) flagged by qc (result is a dictionary-word/complete-word reading; no scan needed).

Collated word-by-word against the original scan.

Heavyweight pass: collated against the djvu OCR of conferencereport1902a (source_url page anchor confirmed). Removed a block of trailing session material (closing hymn, benediction, and the start of the next session's opening hymns) that had bled in after the real 'Amen' close. Remaining body matches the OCR witness verbatim.
