'''Note: Microfilm ordering ceased September 2017. Most digitised microfilms of records from the British Library are currently available for viewing on a FamilySearch computer at a FamilySearch Centre. Some microfilms of Church registers filmed in India are available to be viewed on your home computer. Access the microfilms though the FamilySearch catalogue (ensure you are signed it to FS, or results could vary), and click on the camera icon for those records which have been digitised. Note however, at 2019/03, there may be problems with the access of both catalogue information, and the databases, see [[FamilySearch Centres]] for more details. Please take this into account when reading the Fibiwiki pages below.'''
When a microfilm has been digitised it is also, in addition to the microfilm number, allocated a DGS number, referred to as a Digital Folder number. The latter number appears to becoming the main reference number for a record set. (The URL for a record set has the format (at 20202021/0812) <nowiki>https://www.familysearch.org/search/film/007251509</nowiki> where the last number is the DGS number, from [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/4092149 catalogue entry]. The format including an image number (example image 45) is <nowiki>https://www.familysearch.org/search/film/007251509?i=44</nowiki>, where the last number is one less than the actual image number).
