• The new Family History Archive viewer lacks a persistent URL for each scanned book. The URLs "are session based and only good for that browser and session." To overcome this, there is a special URL that needs to be used: https://dcms.lds.org/delivery/DeliveryManagerServlet?dps_pid=[IE#] . The IE# is found in the URL for each book when using the new viewer.
  
• Here is an example of a broken link:
  https://dcms.lds.org/view/action/ieViewer.do?from_proxy=true&dps_pid=IE63938&dps_dvs=1323814300276~211&dps_pid=IE63938&change_lng=en
  
• Here is a link that works: https://dcms.lds.org/delivery/DeliveryManagerServlet?dps_pid=IE63938
  
• Here is a page that uses the new template: https://www.familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Bronx_County,_New_York#Death (see second paragraph in "Death" section - hyperlink to word "online").   Murphynw 20:04, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
