What a useless discussion. It's Elizabeth Shown Mills that uses the term
as shown in the quote I gave.
And yes in some discussion she also sees images as not the originals as
they're subject to tampering (less so with images at reputable sites but
easy if they're just emailed to you or photocopies etc) - which is why
she makes extensive notes on what exactly she uses and the quality of
the image etc.
I'm not that suspicious.

Sorry Cathy, you are the one applying the term ‘reprint’ to these
records, not me. Would that mean you define all records found online
as ‘reprints’? Census? County record books? If so, than all records
found online would be secondary not the original.
That would not be an record analysis to which I would not agree.

Your choice Denise
but I'd read on further and see that ESS calls them facsimile reprints
or image reprints though in my edition she doesn't detail them online
but rather on CD or microfilm.
"12.79 Reprints: Image Editions
Reprints that offer image copies of earlier publications are called
facsimile reprints (as opposed to facsimile reproductions of original
records, covered at 12.77). However, the modern terms image copy or
image reprint are better understood today."
Of course her caveats apply.
No doubt her webpages or the later editions cover online reprints.
I really don't care about exact ordering and commas etc so long as the
source can be found. Of course it needs the online detail and the
original publication detail.
That's what the SourceWriter reprint templates, which are all based on
Evidence Explained, provid e.

Cathy,
Yes, I am aware of the sample's format style. However, I am also
aware
that a digital image of an original book (City Directory or
otherwise)
is not a reprint of the original publication. A reprint would include
both the original publication date and the date of the reprint. That
is standard practice of the publishing industry. Even the
publisher of
a reprint might / probably would differ from the publisher of the
original publication.
As for SourceWriter, perhaps these differences is why I prefer not to
use that option.
Thanks for the comments,
Denise

Denise,
you've given an example for a Basic Format - real book City Directory.
An online version needs a layered source.
Using the Books Reprint option is a way to get that and provides the
necessary fields for the online site and the original.
Do you know that when looking for a template in the SourceWriter you
can enter the section number in the Find box?
I just did this - and it gave the templates I pointed to.

Cathy,
I am a bit hesitant with describing a digitized (online) City
Directory as a ‘reprint’. Might I suggest you review section 12.75
Reprints & Revisions in ‘Evidence Explained’ (p. 708-9)
The book does provide a sam ple source list entry for a City Directory
as follows:
Polk, R. L., compiler. Colora do Springs, Colorado, City Directory.
Colorado Springs: R. L. Polk Directory Co., 1924, 1927, 1929, 1931.
Typically the compiler and publishing information for a City
Directory
is found on the title / legal page of a directory, including the
digital images.

A Historical City Directory seen via images online, is a book that
has
been republished online.
So in SourceWriter start with Books and choose one of the reprint
options and then online book for the Medium.
If you want the full original publishing details, add them along with
the original publication date.
