Hi Tom, By replacing the title in the URL with ".json", which gives [0], I got the JSON view of the history. This is the "History API" [1]. It looks like there is a record for each revision, that stores modification date and comment, amongst other things. The first revision has "machine_comment": "bpl_marc/bpl114.mrc:36416736:831". I assume this is the (only) place where source record links are stored (i.e. in metarecords linked to normal records).
I haven't looked at a complete dump with all revisions, but if you say there is no history information included, I trust that that information is not in the dump. I'm unaware of other dumps that could include it. Perhaps the information can more easily be extracted from the database underneath Infogami?
