I was wondering about this a few days ago. When a document is transcribed
and posted on the internet, is it usually considered authentic enough to be
counted as "proper documentation"?
As a "for instance":

As long as I make sure there are several other means of documenting dates,
etc, would you trust apage like this? Or do most of you prefer photocopies
of the actual record?
