 == Collection Descriptions  ==
-For each collection, there is a brief collection Description, as well as a link titled "Learn More" which links to further information about the collection on the [[Main Page|Research Wiki]]. Collections descriptions on the Research Wiki are signified by "(FamilySearch Historical Records)" at the end of the title. Additional information about the collections may also be found in the Wiki articles listed under the "Related Wiki Articles" heading.
+Each collection has a brief Description providing some basic information; fields where you can enter the names, places, and dates for the person you are searching for; a '''Learn More''' link to an article that will provide detailed information on the collection; and a recommendation for how to cite this collection in your research.
+=== View Images ===
+Some collections also include a '''View Images in this Collection''' link. This will take you to a list of waypoints allowing you to browse identify a specific set of images to view.
+=== DGS Browse ===
+Some collections have been published without specifc waypoints and have been published with only a list of [[Book_and_Film_Numbers_Used_by_the_Family_History_Library#Digital_Filming_Numbers|DGS]] numbers. These are sequential numbers identifying the sequence they were acquired in. They have no other meaning. The wiki article for many of these collections with a DGS or ''fakey'' browse includes a list of each DGS number and a description of it's contents. These lists are named '''Digital Folder Number Lists'''.
