Order of page Transcription

Henry Rosenberg Nov 17, 2020 3:40 PM

I think I know the answer but I have come across many 2 page transcriptions where the left page is either sideways or follows the right. I was taught to transcribe the left page first no matter what. Is that still the case? Unfortunately, I have been editing many pages to change the order of transcription. I posted an example below before I have edited:

Thanks,

That's "right", Henry! (pun intended)

Please do stick to the order of the original document, even if it is out of order. A little counterintuitive, I know, but we want the transcription text to match up to the image, which it will sit alongside when returned to loc.gov.
