The Historical Archive

Everything on this site is grounded in one principal source: a hard-copy history of Obinofia Ndiuno, scanned and transcribed into a structured archive. This page documents the source, the files, and the gaps.

The principal source: a historical book/typed history of Obinofia Ndiuno, scanned from the community’s holdings. Pages 12–72 have been scanned (60 primary pages). Pages 1–11 and page 63 are not yet scanned and could contain the cover, title page and further history — they are marked as missing in the extraction report. The transcriptions are raw OCR output and have not yet been proofread page by page.

Source Files

Scan images — original pages (primary set).
Record of all scanned objects: page-map.json / page-map.csv (60 PRIMARY pages + 6 DUPLICATE entries).
Full readable transcription: full-transcription.txt (378 lines; pages 12–72).
Individual page text files: extracted-text/page-012.txt … page-072.txt (60 files; no page-063).
Extraction report: extraction-report.md — methodology, findings and gaps.
Batch processing status: batch-status.json.

Known Gaps (from the extraction report)

Pages 1–11 and 63 could not be recovered from the scans or the scanned PDFs (Scan.pdf, 48 pages; Scan790.pdf, 1 page).
Cover / title material is not in the scanned portion.
Pages 40, 44 and 64 were transcribed at medium confidence (faint/rotated numbers) — recommended for spot-check.
Raw OCR has not been proofread; minor errors are possible.

How to Read the Sources on This Site

Every historical claim on these pages carries a source reference like Book, p. 22. That corresponds to page 22 of the scanned history, whose full text lives in extracted-text/page-022.txt. The page-map.json file connects each page to its scan.

Stories with no verifiable date or persons are clearly labelled Legend or Oral tradition on their pages and on the Stories page.
