Photos of sources

Question

Hello everyone,

I was wondering, I have the actual documents and/or photos of most of my sources. Is it better to upload them them or just add a link that redirects the source to somewhere else that I have the photo uploaded?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

If the sources are available online, it is good to link to them. But if you have the sources only at home as copies (e.g. as copies from church records) it is better to deposit the copies here. If they are in a cloud, for example, it might not exist after a few years. Of course, you can only put the copies here if data protection regulations and copyrights do not speak against it.

I prefer to both post the documents and list the link.  Thus, two entries in the Sources, one for the original source link (if I have it) and one that links to the document image.  If the document is one-page, I post it as a jpg image; if the document is multiple pages, I post it as a PDF file.
