DRC USE GUIDE

Search Guide

• Use the search box in the upper-right corner of the masthead on every single page to conduct a keyword search.
• To search for a specific phrase or name, USE QUOTATION MARKS around the search term. For example, a keyword search for John Smith will pull all results that include the words “John” or “Smith”. Meanwhile, a keyword search for “John Smith” will only pull results that include the exact phrase bounded by the quotation marks.
• The search function will pull results from across all available digital records and will search within both the metadata as well as any available transcriptions. The results will be, by default, sorted by relevancy.
• Boolean terms such as AND, OR, and NOT cannot be applied to a basic keyword search; in order to use Boolean terms search, please use the Advanced Search feature.

Viewing Images

• Once an image has been selected, the following functionality is available:
  • Hovering the cursor in the image viewer displays a menu with the following options in the top right of the viewing window:
  • Zoom out or in
  • Go home – resets the image to the default view
  • Toggle full page view
  • Rotate left or right
• The dimensions of the image viewer can be toggled between full and half width using the arrows to the bottom right of the viewing window.
• Click the DOWNLOAD button to open a pop-up window to save images, metadata, and transcripts where available.
• Select the EMBED button to obtain a code for displaying the record elsewhere on another site using software such as an iFrame. Choose to include display of the Summary Metadata and/or Transcripts (where available), along with configuring the desired display image(s).
• Bookmark the record or select items within a multi-image record for future reference in My Account. Learn more about these features in the My Account section above.

The MANIFEST button will open in a new window and display XML.
