 * FHA Template
 * The new Family History Archive viewer lacks a persistent URL for each scanned book. The URLs "are session based and only good for that browser and session" (quoting an engineer). To overcome this, there is a special URL that needs to be inserted: https://dcms.lds.org/delivery/DeliveryManagerServlet?dps_pid= . After the equals sign, add the IE# found in the URL for each book in the new viewer.
 * Here is an example of a broken link (you can't copy and paste the URL from the browser): https://dcms.lds.org/view/action/ieViewer.do?from_proxy=true&amp;dps_pid=IE63938&amp;dps_dvs=1323814300276~211&amp;dps_pid=IE63938&amp;change_lng=en
 * Here is a link that works: https://dcms.lds.org/delivery/DeliveryManagerServlet?dps_pid=IE63938
