  • Added to the board: Open: buy access to structured data and process only what we need (Reid), or buy whole county archives and structure everything (Keegan).

  • Keegan's contact will send Ector and Midland County records, likely Monday or Tuesday. Older indexes are handwritten (grantor, grantee, volume and page); turning them into a usable index is the base for running title. Reading them with Claude's vision works but costs a lot.

  • Keegan: the county data contact sent a thumb drive (Keegan's dad has it) with Ector and Martin County records and a readme explaining a search app. He wants our view on the best setup for searching the documents. Reid: sounds partly organized already.
