Catalog Instructions
We are looking for databases, indexes, and images to add to the Iowa pages.

1. Open the first Catalog Divorce entry. It should look something like this: 2. Scroll down to the Film/Digital Notes section and look for a camera icon on right of the note. This will indicate that the information can be viewed online. If it has a key over the camera, you must sign in or go to a family history center to view these. 3. If the entry is viewable online, continue to Iowa County Page Instructions. 4. If the entry is NOT viewable online, go to the next entry in the Divorce section listing.

Iowa County Page Instructions
This section instructs you on how to add the information from the FamilySearch Catalog to the Iowa County page.

This is the format or template to use when adding information for images only from the FamilySearch Catalog to the Wiki:


 * * date-date at FamilySearch Catalog — images

To break this down:
 * Begin with an asterisk (*) and a space
 * If there are any dates, put them first and bold them. So date-date
 * Add another space
 * Then you add the 2 curly brackets or opening template marks

'''For Adair County, Iowa, there is only one entry in the catalog. We'll use that as our example:'''

1. First copy the template to use:


 * * date-date at FamilySearch Catalog — images

2. Add the dates. Copy them straight from the title. It is not necessary to look for dates if they are not in the title. Leave the dates blank, if that is the case.


 * * 1917-1919 at FamilySearch Catalog — images

3. Next we need the film #. Remember it's in the URL bar.


 * * 1917-1919 at FamilySearch Catalog — images

4. Leave the item part as-is.

5. After the disp=, place the title of the film. No need to add author or anything else. Just copy the name of the record and paste into the template


 * * 1917-1919 at FamilySearch Catalog — images

6. And it should look like this when saved:


 * 1917-1919 at FamilySearch Catalog — images

Before You Leave the Page
If there is more than one item under the heading, please place them by date order first. If there are no dates, then they go alphabetical under the date-ordered entries.

Don't forget to go back to the Task List and put a date on your part when you are done.

Thank You!
