Transcribers' Corner

It was originally our intention to include here original scans of the document to be transcribed or proofread but this would have meant buying more expensive website space so we shall continue to commit such files to disks which will be sent to volunteers as appropriate.

For the moment this section is devoted to our major project - the diary of Rector Carey Hampton Borrer.

Tips for proofreaders

1) Dates and expanded abbreviaitions are intentional

2) Punctuation may have been "improved"

3) Names may have been expanded

4) Spelling may have been standardised here and there but not generally as we do not want to lose the 'flavour'.

5) Please highlight all correctons in red characters
