Start with hearing transcripts, correction leaves and the public reading rota. It is the source used to decide how a transcript can be corrected without erasing the earlier spelling from the record; it is not the decision itself. The rule only works if the source describes conditions at the public transcript room at Alder Root Archive.
Known: the current file counts 59 corrections posted before a transcript is copied again, compared with 61 in the prior window. Asecond transect checks the reading against the living site. The entries have dates and a named clerk.
Disputed: Readers ask for a clean current form. Local speakers want the older form retained as a searchable variant. One side emphasizes the posted total; the other points to a spoken place name has three accepted spellings across old records.
Why it matters: the decision determines which residents can rely on the service and which staff must carry out the change. The file does not settle that by itself.
Next: The Year first, seedfall window 2 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The archive will add a correction note and keep the earlier copy linked.
