Just one word (or paragraph) of caution about trying to supply specific URLs to these records that are part of a larger database collection. I have seen many such repositories occasionally change their internal file location structure so that while the URL to the home page which typically contains a “search the database” utility tends to not change, the specific URLs to the records themselves can and usually does change. In other words, you might be better served if you only reference the URL to the repository itself and let future researchers that want to view a specific record within that repository then use whatever search mechanisms are available to them at that future date. I suppose this can all be summed in in Murphy’s 7th Law of the Universe: two things will change in the future, your looks and Internet URLs.
Brian in CA From: Barton Lewis [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, April 17, 2015 5:32 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] SourceWriter: internet > database I am finding that the SourceWriter template “internet > database” is very good for most any internet database collection. However, there is one problem: there is only a url field for the main source, not one for the actual specific record within that collection. For the collection “Virginia, Marriages, 1785-1940” at familysearch, for example, I have multiple marriages I want to cite, but I would like to be able to cite the url for each individual record. Is it reasonable to ask that this source template be revised so as to include a url in the detail?
