Hello folks,
I would like any suggestions on how you folks might deal with this situation.
I have many sources which are multi-page, such as Civil War Pension Files, Court Documents and the like. Currently I list the whole document as a specific source number, and then indicate the specific page number (pg. 14/78) for the source of that specific information. These documents are scanned and included with the source as a multimedia document.
However in the olden days when listing large sources, I broke the document in pieces and listed each sub-document as its own individual source, with specific source number.
Now that scans of those documents can be included wit the source in Reunion, I am curious as to whether I should go back to all those "split sources" and recombine them as I am doing now. It would be more consistent, but is it necessary?
This is certainly not a "life or death" issue and I really do not need to make a lot of work for myself, but I am curious as to how others may deal with this inconsistency.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
Frank
