Hi Barton,
Sorry, I was only responding to part of your email re the difference
between templates.
If what you are looking at is transcriptions then I'd be using an Online
Database template.
The information may be from newspapers but you are not seeing the
newspaper image and it's not the newspaper itself publishing in two
different ways, so the newspaper would go in the Source Detail credit
line in my opinion.
But keep remembering why you are sourcing. The aim is for someone else
to know what you've looked at and be able to find it for themselves or
know why they can't (because it's privately held).

Jenny, can you please explain what you mean by "change the entry in that
field when creating my master source?" Which field? I don't understand how
"online image" relates to any field in the template, to begin with, so I
don't know what field I am supposed to change or what I should change
it to.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] citing an online obituary
For example, in the template I ended up selecting,
"Newspapers>Online images (issued by unrelated content provider)," I
asked if "issued" means "published on this website," which I assume it
does.
That's the assumption I would make.
I also nitpicked about the use of "online image;" I assume that
is equivalent to a transcription although it seems somewhat imprecise.
The distinction is perhaps not important.
No, an online image is an actual digital image of an original document.
If the words have been copied (typed or OCR'd) then it is a Transcription.
The distinction is important because you cannot be assured of the accuracy
of a transcription.
In the case of the Newspaper template which only offers Online Images as a
content type, I would simply change the entry in that field when
creating my
Master Source.
