Role of Contributors

A style guide has been created to expalin how and what will be placed in the articles. The style guide can be found at Guidelines for FamilySearch Collections. Please review the guide before before contributing to the project. Any questions concerning the guide can be posted on the FamilySearch Collections Discussion page.
