Catalog Instructions
We are looking for image-only items (the onese with the camera icon to the right of them) 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 the right of the note. 3. Select the Camera Icon to see if the records are viewable.
 * If the entry is viewable online, continue to Iowa County Page Instructions.
 * 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 exactly as written except capitalize the first letters in the title. No need to add author or anything else.


 * * 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.
 * Before you save the page, please enter Adding FS Catalog entries project.
 * Don't forget to go back to the Task List and put a date on your part when you are done.

Thank You!
