Many of them hope that it will be possible to develop guidelines that account for both the idiosyncrasies of such manuscripts and the semantic information embedded in them.</p> <p>Historical financial records (HFRs), a genre of primary sources that includes such materials as bills, receipts, cashbooks, journals, and account ledgers, are abundant in traditional archives. Most current digitization projects do not capture the full range of financial information, and if they do, they have yet to develop a common method for fully expressing this range.</p>
