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 which identify the order in which they were scanned or acquired. They have no other meaning. The wiki article for many of these collections with a DGS browse includes a list of each DGS number and a description of its contents. These lists are named '''Digital Folder Number Lists'''.
