three partly read messages (p. 164 F-G-X, p. 164 VFGAG, VGADA p. 215)
marked transmission gaps (44, 44, 11 letters, a line missing from the p. 164 transcript); VGADA's 2017 text is part emendation (20 letters against the cells)
Done
None yet. The first photograph that closes a gap will be listed here, with its volunteer.
How it works
Click I can do this on a request. It opens a short form on GitHub with the request filled in: say how you will do it (visit, order, library) and roughly when, by month. The request is then marked as taken on this page, so two people do not go for the same leaf. When you have the images or the text, send them on the same issue, or by email if you do not use GitHub. Say whether the images may be shown on the site; they are always credited to you and to the archive.
Before photographing, check the archive’s rules: most reading rooms allow it without flash, some ask for a form or a fee. A phone photograph of the whole page, flat, with the folio number visible, is enough for most requests; for a line in the gutter, one more of the page edge. Do not cut or mark anything to see better: say what you could not see and that closes the request too.
Something not listed? Use the same form to propose a request. Each one here comes from a write-up’s notes, its “Remaining gaps”, where the gap is marked as needing the archive; the list is rebuilt with the site. The ledger is archive_requests.json. Credit works as for every contribution: contribute.
