# Source Note Template
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use this template when creating a new source note in the Librarian notebook. Source notes contain ONLY source material — no analysis, no theory, no commentary.

## Transcription
|
||
|
|
|

[Full or partial transcription of the document. Preserve original spelling, punctuation, and line breaks where practical. Use [sic] sparingly — only where ambiguity exists. Use [illegible] or [torn] for unreadable portions.]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Discrepancies

**This note has no Open Questions or Tasks sections.** Questions and tasks arising from this source belong on the relevant person notes, not here.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**No tags on source notes.** Do not use `[fact]`, `[claim]`, `[question]`, `[todo]`, or `[insight]` tags. Source notes contain only source material. Analysis, insights, questions, and theories belong on person notes (with citations back to this source). Both come back in searches, so nothing is lost.
