Rudger Clawson · 1942 April General Conference · 1942-04-04
Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report of the One Hundred Twelfth Annual Conference (April 4-6, 1942), scanned by the Church History Library and hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1942a). OCR was cleaned and corrected against the printed text: running heads, page numbers, and line-break hyphenation removed; drop-cap and obvious OCR errors fixed. Not yet proofread page-by-page against the scan images, so minor residual OCR errors may remain (status: draft, pending review). source_archived_url points to the Internet Archive item itself (a Church History Library preservation copy); a dedicated Wayback Machine snapshot still needs to be created with an authenticated Save Page Now.
Official CHL scan of the printed Conference Report; image leaf = printed page + 1 (verified).
Same CHL scan mirrored at Internet Archive; djvu OCR used as the collation witness.
Proofread against the source text.
Heavyweight review (cursor-agent): proofread against the CHL-scanned Conference Report via the Internet Archive djvu OCR witness; discourse boundaries and metadata confirmed; no OCR/layout artifacts found.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: authoritative source upgraded from the IA item to the Church History Library asset viewer (asset 97ba1680-e238-460f-a305-61461b9e1b04, Conference Report, 112th Annual Conference, April 1942); image leaf = printed page + 1, verified against the IA scandata page map and the First Presidency anchor (printed p. 88 = leaf 89). Collated against the IA djvu OCR of the same CHL scan: opening and closing discourse boundaries verified and interior passages spot-checked; body already clean (0 QC ERRORs) with no running heads, page numbers, or OCR substitutions found. No official online text exists for 1942 (pre-1971 conferences are not on churchofjesuschrist.org). Printed page span estimated by OCR-line interpolation between the verified anchors (p. 3 and p. 22); not folio-confirmed.
