Collation history

Proofread against the source text.

Proofread against the OCR of conferencereport1915sa (leaves 83-87); one paragraph discussing polygamy had unusually heavy OCR corruption and was reconstructed from context; fixed scattered OCR character errors elsewhere.

Collated word-by-word against the original scan.

Heavyweight pass: source verified against conferencereport1915sa OCR. Reading order reconstructed with scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py; boundaries confirmed (Second Day Morning Session, between Heber C. Austin and John L. Herrick). Body collated against OCR leaves 83-87; one paragraph (concerning polygamy and the children of pioneer parents) was very heavily OCR-corrupted and reconstructed word-by-word from context and grammar; no content invented, only decoded from mangled OCR tokens. Fixed scattered OCR character errors elsewhere.
