Only tables are transcribed; the running text, photographs, the map and the appendix documents (treaty, rescripts, speeches) are not. Every text page was read. The scan ends partway through the appendix list of town populations (after North Keisho); the following page is missing. Printed totals that do not add up are kept as printed and noted; every such table was transcribed a second time independently, and disputed cells went to a third reader (agreement settles a cell; otherwise it is marked unreadable). The one-sentence context notes are written by the transcriber from the surrounding text.
