Now I am wondering if it is worth the effort to make a digital copy of
each census record to include with each reference to the census
document in Resident, Occupation, Emigration, and Religion Events.
How would you professionals answer this query?
May a non-professional offer an opinion?!
I don't actually create separate Events for each column on a Census as
you do, just entering everything as a Census Event. (I do, though, use
the Census for a Source for name, age and place of birth.) I attach a
digital image of the Census page to the Source Detail, but I don't print
this on Reports.
I keep the digital images because I am frequently wanting to refer back
to the page for various reasons and I can't always be sure that I will
have access to the online image at any time I might want it - Internet
connection not available for some reason, subscription to Census website
lapsed, Census website temporarily down, etc. Vast amounts of storage
space are available quite cheaply nowadays so keeping hundreds of images
is not a problem, although I do trim the images and do not save in
colour.
