The present issue of the journal “Studia Universitatis Babeș-Bolyai Digitalia” features a special, more discreet piece of the HPDT’s documentation, namely the English version of the manual for transcribing and inputting information from historical parish registers into the database entry-forms. Publishing the data-entry protocol is not a common option in the scientific literature, and even on databases’ websites such documents are less frequent. Indeed, this manual is part of the internal documentation, employed mainly by the data-entry operators and by the database core-team when conducting verification and normalization procedures. However, it remains an important item, both in regard to the digital instrument for which it was created, and to other emerging initiatives in search of methodological benchmarks.
