Keeping the record accurate.

Transcriptions preserve the source’s wording. Checked pages mark unresolved passages. Machine-read pages may still contain unmarked errors or omissions and are labeled for proofreading. A statement in a family book is part of the historical record; it may still need independent confirmation.
