Citing Tanguay Collection

I have been searching and searching and I am just not sure how to deal with this at all. I'm trying to create a citation/template my my sources from the Tanguay Collection. I have multiple digital images that I have downloaded but I'm having difficulty deciding how to even start. Should it just be treated as an book with online images? I do realize that if a website has reproduced the copy online I will need to cite that webpage and not the item directly but I'm just not sure what category it would fall under. 

Any direction would be much appreciated.

Carrie, can you be a bit more specific?  Whose version of Tanguay are you citing? Can you provide a link?

Sorry. I should have been more specific I don't have a particular link because I have access through my library but usually the versions I use are on Ancestry.com. I'm thinking you would just treat it as any other book that you can view the actual images online but I wasn't sure. I guess the word dictionary in the title is throwing me and making me unsure if it should be treated differently.

Carrie, your description suggests that you are dealing with a rather simple layered citation.

1: Cite the book, just as you would any other published multi-volume work:

Author, Title of Book, no. of volumes (Publication Place: Publisher, Date/year), volume: page

2: Add a semicolon, add the bridge words "imaged as," and then cite the website, using essentially the same basic format for a published source:

Creator, Title of Website (Publication Place/URL : Date of access).

Thank you so much! I think I was overthinking the book portion. Not sure why I was trying to make it something else. It's a book! The "imaged as" was the connection I was missing. I knew that I had to site the website I just needed to clariffy how to correctly make the connection.
