Purpose

Once Record Search comes out of beta, articles that have used this template will be updated with a single edit to this template.

Usage

This template can be used to link to specific FamilySearch Historical Record Collections available for search. It can take three parameters

  1. The reference for the collection optional
    • If omitted the URL for the site will be displayed
  2. The text to be displayed in the link. optional
    • If omitted the reference number will be displayed instead.
  3. access= optional named parameter. If the parameter is omitted it will default to the correct output for searchable collections
    • Used for linking to a Browse image only collection. This is done by using access=browse.
    • Used for linking to a specific browsing waypoint within a collection. This is done by using access=waypoint.
