Source: The recording was transferred from reel-to-reel audio tape to digital format. Most recordings were first transferred to compact disk and then ripped to digital. NOTE: transcripts were generated in 2025-2026 using the Whisper automatic speech recognition (ASR) system. Some known errors in transcription were corrected by archivists; however, there are still mistakes, especially with specialized monastic names and terms, foreign languages, and recording sections with multiple people speaking at once or off-microphone. All text needs to be screened by a human and cleared with the Merton Legacy Trust before publication.
