Stephen,
I don't like to type either, plus I'm bad at it.
Some time ago, I discovered that in the upper left hand corner of the Official Records pages on the Cornell site, you can "select" text rather than 50%. This allows you to cut and paste the text. For some reason, the conversion to text results in a few garbled words, but it is still better than typing.
Better yet, the EHistory site also has the Official Records and provides a cut and paste document without the garbled words.
