*Use the dates you located in the collection at the beginning of the link. Do not replace the collection dates.
*The TITLE OF COLLECTION should be the original title.
*In parenthesis, add to the title the record type. Try to keep it short but informative. Example: Washington, County Records, 1803-2010 (Birth Records)
*We will only use "images" even if there are indexes on the images. "Indexes" lead the user to expect a search screen to enter a name. These collections do not have an index as of yet.
