Navorsingsnotas

[31 Jul 2026 inbox] Surveyed Witberg No. 180 in March 1913 (DOC-0123). Recorded on the same principle as C. Lennox Stretch and J. TullekenM: a surveyor's working season dates and groups the sheets he signed.

These are working notes, not finished prose: they carry the reasoning, the corrections and the things still marked to verify. They are kept here so the page itself can read as what is known.

Die werksnotas op hierdie werf word in Engels gehou en word nie vertaal nie. Hulle verander met elke navorsingsessie, en 'n vertaling sou uit pas raak met die oorspronklike. Alles anders — die stories, die getranskribeerde dokumente en die koppelvlak — is in Afrikaans.
