OCR ingestion with auto-cleaning and paragraph reflowing. Archive snapshot pending.
No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.
Proofread against the source text.
Proofread against the Internet Archive conferencereport1959a scan/OCR; confirmed body text, fixed date/session metadata.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: verified source as the Church History Library-contributed Internet Archive scan conferencereport1959a (129th Annual Conference, held Apr 4-6, 1959; IA metadata confirms CHL call no. M204.1 A1 1880, 1897-). Rebuilt page reading order from the scan's DjVu XML word-coordinate data (scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py) to safely resolve talk boundaries against the report's own session headers (FIRST/SECOND/THIRD DAY, MORNING/AFTERNOON MEETING, GENERAL PRIESTHOOD MEETING) and speaker headers. Confirmed session and exact date from the report's own dateline (Saturday Apr 4 = First Day, Sunday Apr 5 = Second Day, Monday Apr 6 = Third Day; the Saturday-evening General Priesthood Meeting is also part of First Day); corrected date_precision from month to exact and added the session field (both were previously unset). Added a page-anchored source_url (leaf n18 of conferencereport1959a) in place of the bare item link. Confirmed talk boundaries against the reconstructed scan text; body matches the OCR witness. This is LeGrand Richards.
