When using original local records, indexes created by clerks are often the gateway to locating material. When making digital copies of these records,
make a copy of the index as well as the records utilized. That way you will know you got everything and looked up all the relevant entries.

Good advice. Also identify location and exact title of the record book from which the index entry is from, on the copy.
I also take pictures of the cover/spine of the item (if available) and the title card if I’m using FHL film.
