Re: Guidelines for transcription / editing



Actually for transcribing advice, I've been using some of
the "Papers" sets (Papers of Andrew Jackson, etc.)--these
modern documentary sets--they are great for examples of
whether you change the spellings, do you leave the word as
"inst." or change it to "instant", or transcribe Tho. as Thomas,
and the footnotes are incredible showing you the range of
explanatory, definition, notes about the original....
