Whether adding it to a list of collections chronologically or adding it directly under the Header and the intro (if US). Trust your gut on this. You can make a note on the spreadsheet if you would like us to review the location of the collection.

==How to Determine if Different Collections Have Indexes or Images==


The collection links have been autogenerated to be in the correct format to match the manual of style. The computer is not able to tell if a collection has an index or images, so we will need to check those as we go along and adjust the code accordingly once it is on the page. It automatically says "Index & Images" on all the links. <br><br>
