I agree with Marg, however, I'm sure there are ways for you to cut down the work/time on the sourcing. How good is it sourced? It would be very unusual for there to be extensive sourcing in those kinds of records that are typed up like that; if it is correctly sourced, it would definitely be a shame to leave it out completely.
