Notes:

  1. The original (OralHist_RMork_Part[n].pdf) transcriptions are not very purfekt. Many typing letter transpositions, such as "ieda" for "idea". Many of these have been "corrected".
  2. Optical Character Reconition (OCR) is an imperfect art. The user is sometimes confused how parts can get so wrong.
  3. I used a spell checker to try to dig out most of the errors - but sometimes this filter fails when a mistake generates another valid word.
