Type what no machine can read

Cambridge's council record before 1900 is a clerk's handwriting. No software reads it, so these pages are photographs with a catalogue note attached: findable, but not readable, not searchable, and not quotable. They become text when someone types them. Every page is typed by two people who cannot see each other's work, and the record takes only what they agree on.
