Description
Append a supplied suffix to a folio-number transcription.
Historical records separate source readings, remembered dates, documentary dates, place identifiers and editorial conventions. Supplied certainty or witness labels are annotations rather than authenticated evidence. Original spellings, calendar styles and accession-year conventions need their documentary context before chronological interpretation.
Append a supplied suffix to a folio-number transcription.
When to use this tool
Use Archival Folio Added Letter Suffix when you already have folioNumberText, suppliedSuffix and need to append a supplied suffix to a folio-number transcription.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter folioNumberText, suppliedSuffix. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read folioLabel. Use the output convention below.
Require one or more ASCII digits and a nonempty suffix; concatenate verbatim, retaining leading zeros.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |

| folioNumberText | Nonempty ASCII digits, preserving leading zeros; suppliedSuffix is appended literally. | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |

"folioNumberText": "42",
"suppliedSuffix": "bis"
},
"output": {
"folioLabel": "42bis"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- No folio, pagination system, suffix meaning or archival locator validity is checked.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Consult the original source, edition and provenance for a historical claim. Apply an appropriate calendar or documentary analysis when actual conversion, identity or interpretation is needed; a transcription key or uncertainty marker does not establish those results.
