Explore Image Collections by Custodian
This list is user-updated; all updates are manual. The following are image-only collections, i.e., not indexed by record-subject names. If some images are not searchable/findable, it's because there are restrictions on the images that only allow certain FamilySearch users to access them and/or while browsing on certain networks. These restrictions are based off of the privacy laws of the government from which the images were acquired and/or the contract with the custodian of the original records. Collections that are marked "In Progress" will be updated weekly with new images.

Choose a Program
There are several image editing programs to choose from when you want to add callouts to images. Some of the ones we use are Microsoft Word, Microsoft Publisher, and Adobe Photoshop. Either of these programs cost money if you do not already have them. If you don’t want to buy the programs, then there is a free program available to download called Apache OpenOffice. Find out more about it here: OpenOffice.org.

After you've saved the image onto your computer, open up the program of your choice and go for it. Below are some links to instructional guides about adding callouts using MS Word, MS Publisher, Adobe Photoshop, and OpenOffice Draw:
 * Instructions on how to add callouts using MS Word
 * Instructions on how to add callouts using MS Publisher
 * Instructions on how to add callouts using Adobe Photoshop
 * Instructions on how to add callouts using OpenOffice Draw

Callouts Guidelines
Follow these guidelines about callouts (use the image at the top of this wiki page as an example of what they should look like):
 * Use the rounded rectangular call out
 * The outline weight must be at least 1.5 pt and not greater than 2.25 pt
 * The outline weight must be black
 * The background color must be white
 * Use black text
 * Try to keep the callouts off of the text of the record, but you may use the blank spaces of the record. We understand that positioning the callout can sometimes be difficult because the record doesn't give enough space; try your best and send us the finished product.

Submit the Completed Image with Callouts
Note: MS Word does not allow saving or exporting a document with images as an image file.

If you prefer using MS Word: Please send us the document (.doc) file with the image and callouts in place.

If you prefer using MS Publisher, Adobe Photoshop, or OpenOffice Draw: Please send us the image (.jpeg/.jpg) file with the callouts in place as well as the Publisher file (.pub), Draw file (.odg), or Photoshop file (.psd) for that image.

Please email all submissions to [mailto:userguidance@familysearch.org userguidance@familysearch.org].
