Memories Folder as a source?

I have a day book/journal I have scanned that belonged to an ancestor. He lived 1830-1898. It has over 300 hand written pages by him. I have scanned and saved each page as a .TIF file so it can easily be viewed and magnified without becoming grainy. I saved each page using the same number as the page number. I would like to be able to create a source called "Nathan Kinney's Day book" and link that to the folder where I have the pages.

Any source I connect that to, I could possibly put in the details "page 210"

I surely do not want to have to create over 300 sources, one for each page.

And I would certainly like to be able to share the "whole book" folder... Is there a way to accomplish this?

Here is a link to the folder:

https://www.familysearch.org/photos/gallery/album/1054123?cid=mem_copy

Would using that link be "good enough" to use to create a source?

    Kristina Kuhn I have a ledger very similar to that. I have not yet uploaded everything, but it also has pics from a Sunday School lesson that looks very similar to the one you have (the boy helping the old lady wind her yarn into a ball.) I have to go somewhere soon and don't have time to look in my ledger, but I may have the same picture. I will report back.


    By the way, I would make a source out of the very first photo (which should really be a photo of the book itself, I think!), and then indicate the album contains more information.
