This facility was created as an internal search resource for the editorial team in the Gaois research group. Part of the process involved the carrying out of optical character recognition (OCR) on some of the statutory instruments to prepare them for use in the corpus. It was then necessary to align the texts using a software package. Both processes threw up a small number of textual errors which Gaois has endeavoured to rectify. However, users may still encounter minor errors in certain segments. It should also be noted that some of the original texts contained a small number of typographical errors. These have not been corrected. We welcome feedback from users on errors identified. These will be rectified later, as appropriate.
