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 conferencereport1969a 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 conferencereport1969a (139th Annual Conference, held Fri Apr 4 - Sun Apr 6, 1969). Rebuilt page reading order from the scan's DjVu XML word-coordinate data (scripts/ingest/cr-reading-order.py) and cross-checked every talk boundary against the report's own exhaustive back-of-book index (leaf n160-165), which lists every address with its own page range and sub-topic headings. Unlike the heavily-fragmented 1966-1968 conferences, this conference's original ingest already had each vault file corresponding to a single complete or near-complete talk, with no merging required; the defects found this pass were running-head OCR bleed into a handful of body openings/mid-bodies (fixed) and several genuinely never-ingested addresses (flagged rather than fabricated). Confirmed session and exact date from the report's own dateline (Friday Apr 4 = First Day, Saturday Apr 5 = Second Day plus the Saturday-evening General Priesthood Meeting, Sunday Apr 6 = Third Day, which was Easter Sunday that year); corrected date_precision from month to exact and added the session field (both were previously unset). Added a page-anchored source_url (leaf n46 of conferencereport1969a) in place of the bare item link.
This is a living critical edition. If you find a transcription, metadata, or sourcing error in this talk, report it to the editors →Reports are collated against the page scan and land as corrections in the vault.
