To produce the electronic transcriptions featured on this website, the Adams Digitization Project staff scanned the published volumes (listed above in 转录的来源"), used an OCR (optical character recognition) program to convert the images of the transcriptions into electronic text files, examined the text files (and corrected the occasional errors that occur in the OCR process), and encoded the transcriptions using an established markup scheme. 的 Digitization Project team used the XML version of MEP (Model Editions Partnership) a DTD (Document Type Definition) based on TEI (Text Encoding Initiative). (请参阅 术语表 一些技术术语的简要描述.)

(约翰·亚当斯日记 are not arranged in strict chronological order, 偶尔也会有两卷手稿涵盖相同的日期. 的 published volumes present the diary entries in one chronological sequence, whereas this website presents the transcriptions as mirroring the order of the manuscript volumes.)
