Abstract
In 1998, following the passage of Bill 180, which abolished confessional school boards in the province of Quebec, Eardley P. Dowling, the chair of the Foundation for the Advancement of Protestant Education in Canada, met with members of the Department of History at McGill University to explore the possibility of establishing a research group that would focus on the history of Quebec Protestant schooling.Although the Protestant system of education had existed in Quebec for nearly 200 years, it had received little scholarly attention.As a result of this and subsequent meetings, the Quebec Protestant Education Research Project (qperp) was created.It set out to locate, evaluate, and chronicle the historical documents of the Protestant school boards and to research and write a comprehensive history of Protestant education in Quebec based on these sources.This book, A Meeting of the People: School Boards and Protestant Communities in Quebec, 1801-1998, is in part the outcome of what became an ideal collaboration between the members of the foundation, qperp, and McGill's Department of History.From our perspective, this partnership has produced both surprising and anticipated by-products.It has brought the public into the university sphere and introduced academia to the public.It has encouraged students and historians to consult school-board documents and communities to value their school boards as archival sources.In keeping with the aims of qperp, a workshop, "Historical Sources in the School Board Archives," was held in June 2000 at McGill University.Staff of the English school boards and a number of public archives throughout Quebec, as well as representatives of Quebec historical societies

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; the direct Gemma label and the distilled Codex classifier agree on what is shown here.
