The online presentation in American Memory does not use the SGML version of the The Writings of Washington directly. The SGML document was processed to extract each transcribed letter as a separate tagged record. These records are SGML-like, but not complete SGML document instances. The file of tagged records is merged with the database, indexed, and used to generate an HTML display on the fly. Naming system and page-turning dataset in place to link sequence and present page images.
Filenames indicate page type, table of contents.
Filename extension differentiates image types. The SGML files are not currently being made available for public use.
