      General note

      Transcript content may differ slightly from the actual audio recordings. Through the process of creating the transcripts, narrators were sent a draft which they were allowed to edit. In cases where the narrator extensively edited the transcript, both the draft and final versions of the transcript were retained by the archivist. Transcripts with minor edits were removed and only the final version was kept.

      General note

      Most transcripts have been digitized.
