Love this! We check scrupulously for this in Adams Papers copyedit, given the glorious vagaries of 1790s punctuation. John Adams often ended a sentence with “.–“ or “point terminal dash” as we call it when collating transcriptions aloud. It’s easy to muddle when moving from manuscript to annotation!

💯 agreed! Plus, chatting with librarians + archivists about finds + speed bumps is super helpful. May be new collections afoot, or new ways to recatalogue metadata to make archives more discoverable.
