Catalog Instructions
We are looking for image-only items (the ones 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.
 * There may or may not be a key over the camera icon. We will use them both.
 * Do not add any other types of records at this time (no film, books, databases, etc.).

3. Proceed to the next step.

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


 * Open the Divorce section on the Iowa county page which is towards the very bottom under the Vital Records section. You can select Divorce from the Table of Contents if you prefer.

'''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 the Divorce section of the County page:


 * * 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.

EXAMPLE:
 * (with dates) * 1917-1919 (*) at FamilySearch Catalog — images
 * (without dates) * (*) at FamilySearch Catalog — images

3. Next add the title #. Using the image above, look for the inverted V over the URL line.
 * The title number is obtained from the URL line. As you read across the URL, it will start off with familysearch.org/search/catalog/######? plus more characters.
 * The title number is the number immediately after the word catalog/ and before the ?
 * Copy just the number from the URL line and place it where it says title #

EXAMPLE:
 * * 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.

EXAMPLE:
 * * 1917-1919 (*) at FamilySearch Catalog — images

6. And it should look like this when previewed:

EXAMPLE:
 * 1917-1919 (*) at FamilySearch Catalog — images

7. If there are NO other entries in the Catalog, go to the next section.

8. If there ARE other Divorce Entries in the Catalog, please go back to the start and enter each one.

Before You Leave the Page

 * If there is more than one item under the Divorce heading, please place them by date order first. If there are no dates, then they go alphabetical under the date-ordered entries.
 * Do a "Show preview" before saving to make sure it looks like it is supposed to.
 * Before you save the page, please enter Adding FS Catalog entries project to the Summary line.
 * Don't forget to go back to the Task List and put a date on your part when you are done.

Thank You!
