What to examine

Check printed pagination separately from scan numbering, and distinguish the author’s descriptions from the sources he quotes.

Make your own source record

1. Identify the creator, title, edition and date from the source itself.
2. Record the exact page or map sheet. Read the surrounding passage or full geographical setting.
3. Separate the wording visible in the document from the interpretation you draw from it.
4. Keep unresolved readings and conflicting dates in your notes so the comparison can be revisited.
