Style Guidelines
Robert - these are just my suggestions, but we'll need to discuss. There will probably be more as we think of them.
General Site Guidelines
- For Archive materials, spelling, upper/lower case, date formats, etc. should be in the format of the original source.
- Dates - what should our preferred format be? 12 JAN 1892, 12 Jan 1892, January 12, 1892?
- Name capitalization: The preferred format is for names to be in upper/lower case, such as this: John Whitney. Please refrain from all capital surnames such as WHITNEY unless the original source has it thus.
Family Group Record Guidelines
- All of the General Site Guidelines apply to the Family Group Records as well.
- The first mention of the names of primary individuals (the subject, wives, and children) should be bolded to allow for easy location by readers.
