Handwritten archival tables contain rich historical information, yet transforming them into structured representations, such as Knowledge Graphs, requires integrating table structure recognition, handwriting recognition, and semantic interpretation - a complex multimodal process. End-to-end AI implementations can obscure these steps, resulting in opaque algorithmic operations that hinder human oversight, critical assessment, and trust. To address this, we present a modular, provenance-aware pipeline to convert handwritten tabular images into KGs supporting human-AI collaboration. The pipeline decomposes the workflow into three stages - table reconstruction, information extraction, and KG construction - while exposing intermediate representations for inspection, evaluation, and correction. A key contribution of our approach is the systematic integration of data provenance at every stage, ensuring that all extracted entities and literals remain traceable to their visual and textual origins. The proposed pipeline is demonstrated through a number of experiments on real-world archival material concerning military careers. The results across three different table reconstruction variants highlight the importance of modularisation. By coupling modularity with data provenance, our work advances transparent and collaboratively controllable image-to-KG pipelines for complex historical data.
