Citations to Catholic Church books
I am starting a project which involves searching through Catholic church books. These are in the archive in Würzburg.
Can someone point me to some well constructed citations to church books that I can use as examples/templates?
I know I want my citation to identify the location of each entry in the original church book and it's location/access method via computer in the archive.
I want to include an image of the entry as well.
I want to make these data available as sources in the FSFT.
One issue I may have is that the images are not on-line. I must include them as image files. And many will consist of 2 image files. FSFT "Memory Sources" allow one image file. Any ideas beyond using pdf to contain multiple images?

Re: Citations to Church Books
(1) Ask the archival staff at the archive in Würzburg if they have a preferred citation style for the church books in their collection which are accessed via their in-house computers.
(2) Get a copy of Elizabeth Shown Mills, Evidence Explained: Citing History Sources from Artifacts to Cyberspace, 3rd edition revised (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 2017). There is an entire chapter on citing church records in this book with numerous examples. You will undoubtedly find examples which you can use/adapt as templates. Look for a copy at your local public library (when it reopens) or perhaps you can find a used copy online.

Great ideas.
I was also hoping for some examples already submitted to the family search family tree.
