Role of Contributors
Contributors to the Historical Collections Project create articles describing historical record collections published on FamilySearch. These articles are written at a basic level for beginning users. 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.
