Geneva Bible Editing Needed

I have encountered a lot of errors in the text of the 1560 Geneva Bible in Logos 9 or 10. I would like to know what the process is for the decision making regarding conventions in reproducing the 16th century English text. For instance, the medial S and "f" are often confused for each other. Occasionally the letters "r" and "i" are confused for each other. There are typesetting shortcuts whereby "king" is spelled "kig" with a bar or circumflex over the "i" to indicate the "n" was dropped in order to save space. Most of these errors have arisen because of OCR confusion.

I would love to be able to see the original manuscripts or digital copies from which the text was created. I would also offer to help make the corrections to the text.
