Quality Control: Why and How Do it (no one else will)

Assume the responsibility as you do for

other data. Archivists can check pages as they

archive each section.• Missing or incorrect pages are easier to find and correct sooner than later.

Corrections and copyright Page PDFs are considered the

same as microfilm in the issue of corrections.

The Register considers the page and its representations our own creation.
