Ruffhead - Runnington's Edition?

[afarlie]

Thanks to a little searching, I found there were some additional volumes of Ruffhead continued to 1786 (25Geo3).

There as in 1786 a new edition by Runnington which was extended to c. 1800

https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Template:Ruffhead_volumes has links either to Wikisource Index pages, or to external scans.

Did you pl;an to run OCR on the later volumes at some point?

Thank you, this is a very useful resource.
I will add them to the bibliography pages; then, when time allows, will OCR them.
(The wikipedia OCR looks really awful, more so than expected.)
Thanks for alerting me to this; keeping issue open til scans done.

In terms of the Scan on Wikisource/Wikimedia Commons. Not much in terms of cleaning up raw OCR had been done.

You are of course more than welcome to do a 'Match and Split' against your OCR efforts as well. (I would also strongly encourage you to get an account on English Wikisource.)

(Aside: There might also be some PDF scans of "Queen's printer" versions of some 18th/19th century printed Public Acts on Wikimedia Commons , but that project had only just got started. )

I will also note [[https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Chronological_Table_and_Index_of_the_Statutes]] (dated 1877) and transcribed in part. Having the statutes is one part, having a 'Table of Effects' is also useful, although I'm not aware of many out of copyright sources for those, that could be combined into something that's usable to add meta-data on Wikidata.

What's yours?
(Working with the various Wiki* is something I very much want to do; but there doesn't seem to be an easy way to make bulk corrections to wikisource text.)
Many later c19th vols have tables of effects of that years acts; but first things first, I'm getting locating acts and their text corrected first.

Bibliography updated.
OCRing of volumes in progress.
Note: I'm doing two versions of the Ruffhead vols, first as a single page, then also as separate pages. The latter mean that they can easily be copy-and-pasted into the wikisource pages.
(I can't see an easy way of correction in bulk on the wikipedia pages; having these versions makes that possible).

I am [[User:ShakespeareFan00]] on Wikisource, I left a message on your talk page on that wiki ..
( I was planning on attempting the first volume (Volume 1 of 9) of Ruffhead's edition on Wikisource, unless you wanted to slowly substitute your cleaned OCR for that volumes page by page?
