Terry,
I agree, I prefer the original Evidence! From what I have read of EE so far.
But you know me, if it works for me, I don't worry too much about form. <G>
I was speaking of images as well. Transcriptions, or abstracts would be
different altogether, unless the originals were transcriptions or abstracts.

Let's be clear here - are we talking database - a set of data transcribed
from the original and recorded in a table of some sort - or images of the
original source which you read directly? I think we agree they are sourced
quite differently, and I thought this discussion was about the images.

I agree, and that's one of places where I disagree with EE, and think the
original guidance in Evidence! was better.

You mean images, not database, right? I agree - as I said in another post,
these begin to take on the character of published works, and maybe we should
treat them more along those lines.
