WikiProject Washington Wiki Project Washington Tasks - FamilySearch Centers

Description

Note: FamilySearch has had FamilySearch Centers for years. They are adding Discovery Centers and partnering with libraries and archives. These are under the "umbrella term" of FamilySearch Centers. The names of existing centers will not be changed—at least not yet.

The purpose of this task is to help users, and includes:

1. list and link to the wiki page for each FamilySearch Center in (or near) each county in Washington
   1. update the center's wiki page with contact information (address, phone #) and hours
2. Indicate with an asterisk (*) on the COUNTY page when a Center has the FamilySearch Center Portal. (Ancestry.com, HeritageQuestOnline, Fold3, etc.).
   
   1. If none have it in this county, identify the nearest Center (or library) OUT of this county that does have it.

This is an intermediate task and requires using wikitext.

Steps

On a county page for Washington, click to "FamilySearch Centers."

1) Is there already of list of Centers on the county page?

No: Add the names of centers in that county

2) Are there already links to the Wiki pages of the Centers?

No: Find that Center's wiki page, then on the county page add an internal link to the Center's page

3) Is the contact information on the Center's Wiki page?

No: Add their address and phone #'s

4) Are the hours given?

No: Contact the Center (or the missionaries that do this) and add the hours.

4) On the county page, indicate with an asterisk (*) if they have the FamilySearch Center Portal, such as Bremerton Washington Family History Center*

This will either require a phone call or info from the missionaries on our floor.

4a) If none of the Centers in this county have the FamilySearch Center Portal, identify the nearest Center (or library) that does have them.
