We've completed:
- transcribe 1941 BC and Yukon Directory for Steveston into XML (~800 records / 1 person-week incl training) and add to directories/data section of svn repository
- add legal lot information to Mizuta spreadsheet of street addresses in Steveston (1 person-week) and add to directories/data section of svn repository
- transcribe 1941 BC and Yukon Directory for Haney into XML (~800 records / 1 person-week incl training) and add to directories/data section of svn repository
- survey ~480 protest letters to identify non-economic claims, names of complainants and group docs that form correspondences (1/2 person-week) and submit report to Jordan
- transcribe 1949 BC and Yukon Directory Person listing for Vancouver into XML (~900 records / 2 person-week) and add to directories/data section of svn repository
- scan map pages from Mizuta book on Steveston, Yamaga book on Haney, Hashizume book on mission (latter to help in deciding if Fraser Valley area should be extended, and then possible source for names) and post on Zotero for internal use by other clusters, and add to directories/data section of svn repository
Our method has been for two transcribers to each work on half of same source document simultaneously, discussing problematic cases etc. to ensure consistent treatment. On completion of a source, each transcriber proofs a 10% sample of the other transcriber's work and we jointly review results.
