Unchanged since collected At the last check, on 2 October 2026, all 903 originals, this work's 3 files among them, matched the fingerprints recorded when they were collected. Each copy is re-checked by hand once a year; there is no automatic alert yet.

Notes on this copy

  • #1The file carries images, and no check is recorded yet that none of them is a picture of the person (the collection keeps no likenesses).
  • #2Machine-read text (OCR), not proofread, with no page images in the file to check it against.
  • #6The source's terms restrict reuse (a copyright notice, a non-commercial licence, research use only, or permission required). The work's source terms say why it is served or held.
  • #10An Internet Archive derivative made from the scan, not the master scan.
