Research videos - where have they gone?

Research videos - where have they gone?

I recently found a video showing how to access a complete list of research videos in FamilySearch Wiki. I was thrilled and wanted to share this with my consultants. However, when I followed the instructions, I received the following message:

This page has been deleted. The deletion and move log for the page are provided below for reference.

• 14:46, 11 September 2018 Pysnaks (talk | contribs) deleted page FamilySearch Records training videos (Outdated and no current version: content was: "Training videos to help you get started searching the records on FamilySearch.org === Searching Historical Records === *[https://familysearch.org/learningcenter/lesson/quick-start-to-searching-records/...)

What has happened? Can it be restored? This was a fantastic gateway to find any video by topic, presenter, language or ID #. So handy to have everything available in one place, especially since we don't always know what we are looking for or know what is available.

If there is another way to easily find all training/research videos, please let me know. It seems that such a comprehensive and valuable interactive list should be made accessible from many links, hints and search features.

Thank you, but I have found my own answer. First click search at the top in your FamilySearch account and choose Research Wiki in the drop down menu. Then click Family History Library in the list to the left. On the family History Library page scroll down to the Family History Classes and Webinars. Then choose :

In order to view past webinars, you can scroll down to the Past Webinars section or click here.

 

Click here will give you the whole list. Good to know.

Sorry, one more step. Choose :

 

Past Webinars & Handouts

Please search for the class title, a locality, subject, or the name of the instructor here or go to the wiki page Classes in the Learning Center.

Clicking on Classes in the Learning Center in this section will give you the list.

 

I thought that maybe going directly to the Learning Center in the drop down menu under help in the upper right corner of your FamilySearch screen would give you the same list, but there does not seem to be the same connectivity there. You already have to know what to look for and ask and then receive articles or videos or whatever the search engine criteria thinks helpful on the topic.

If you want to browse the topics to see what may be of interest, I recommend taking the long way around.
