The starting point
A programme may present intended participants, while a report describes events after the match. The documents can complement one another without answering identical questions. Give each a clear type label and record whether the item is an original, a scan or a later transcription.
A useful way to read the evidence
For a programme, note its fixture context and any handwritten changes separately from printed text. For a report, keep the author, publication and date where available. Avoid treating a planned lineup as proof of who actually played. Good descriptions make an archive more useful by showing readers which questions each document can reasonably help answer.
Keep in your notes
- Label the document type.
- Separate printed and handwritten information.
- Distinguish planned and recorded participation.
