When downloading images from a website that hosts digital images of records, do you include information about where the image originally came from? Generally speaking, you should include:

  • Book from which image came
  • Page number
  • Author of book or creator of original record book
  • County/State of record office–if a local record
  • database that had the image
  • website that hosted the database
  • date of download

These items are a great start.
