George F. Richards Jr. · 1946 October General Conference · 1946-10-05
Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report of the One Hundred Seventeenth Semi-Annual Conference (October 4, 5, and 6, 1946), hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1946sa). Reading order was reconstructed from DjVu XML with the repository helper, then cleaned: running heads, page numbers, and line-break hyphenation removed; paragraphs reflowed; obvious OCR errors corrected. Heavyweight review collated the discourse page-by-page against that scan; running heads, page numbers, page-break hyphenation, and OCR/spelling errors were corrected. Title is supplied.
No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.
Proofread against the source text.
Heavyweight proofread against the Church History Library Conference Report scan/OCR (Internet Archive conferencereport1946sa), building on the prior gemini-3.5-flash light pass. Residual running heads, page numbers, page-break hyphenation, and OCR/spelling errors were corrected.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: page-by-page collation against the Church History Library preservation scan/OCR (Internet Archive conferencereport1946sa) of the One Hundred Seventeenth Semi-Annual Conference (October 4-6, 1946). The Church publishes no 1946 General Conference text online (its online archive begins in 1971) and the Church History Catalog item is a JavaScript-rendered viewer with no stable deep link, so the CHL-contributed Internet Archive scan is kept as the verified institutional source_url. Running heads, page numbers, page-break hyphenation, stray layout glyphs, and OCR/spelling errors were corrected.
