Joseph E. Robinson · 1907 April General Conference · 1907-04-07
Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report of the Seventy-Seventh Annual Conference (April 1907), hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1907a). 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.
No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.
Proofread against the source text.
Heavyweight pass: restored a truncated physician quotation and extensive OCR letter-error cleanup, proofread against the conferencereport1907a DjVu XML reading-order reconstruction.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: reconstructed true reading order from the conferencereport1907a DjVu XML word coordinates (scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py). Restored a genuinely truncated quotation: the original ingest dropped 'me: Elder Robinson, whenever I' between 'tpld' and 'see one of your boys on the street' -- recovered verbatim from the DjVu XML. Fixed roughly 25 OCR letter errors throughout (testimones -> testimonies, epochmaking -> epoch-making, alwavs -> always, testi.mony -> testimony, ha-; -> has, baptims -> baptisms, Tesus -> Jesus, Californit -> California, recentl -> recently, wav -> way, awav -> away, peonle -> people, a stray bell-character glyph -> in, nrotecL n -> protection, propoganda -> propaganda [sic OCR still garbled differently, corrected], sneaks -> speaks, df de claring -> of declaring, apo -> ago, oroclamation -> proclamation, mv -> my). Confirmed the extensive Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Kirtland dedicatory prayer quotations are transcribed accurately against the OCR. Confirmed boundaries clean: begins with Robinson own remarks, ends at his Amen with no trailing bleed. source_url already correctly anchored to leaf 91.
