Process used for combining images that were split across two pages

Process used to combine the images (used GIMP 2.10.36):

1. Downloaded .jp2 files from https://ia600206.us.archive.org/view_archive.php?archive=/27/items/municipalofficia00auck/municipalofficia00auck_jp2.zip
2. Open first image in GIMP
3. Increase canvas size (Image > Canvas Size > double the width)
4. Open the second image using File > Open as Layers
5. Line up the images as close as possible (using the Move Tool)
6. Crop the image: Use the Rectangle Select Tool to select the area to crop. Then crop the image to the area selected (Image > Crop to Selection).
7. Save the source file (.xcf) (File > Save)
8. Export as a jpg with 90% quality (File > Export As)

Source .xcf files (GIMP format) are available if you would like to improve the images.
