Until recently we had to depend on existing transcripts but original records are becoming more readily found online. These can show more information than a transcript and also reveal errors or ambiguities. The image below shows how a baptism record has been transcribed and added to it is the original image, Several points (apart from permission to publish such an extract) Adding an image would probably be quicker than making a transcript in the format shown Displaying the original allows users to check the accuracy of the data The record shows information that is relevant on the Birth menu and also on Contact As such it would be preferable if it is included as a link, to avoid multiple copies It illustrates a typical ambiguity, not yet resolved as the address is not clear. The image has been greatly reduced to fit onto the space available and as such would not help in resolving the problem A possible solution could be to store the full resolution image and put a thumbnail on the record
