View some of the many photographs the Hanslope & District Historical Society has collected

Revisions January 2010

More photographs are being added to the archive available on-line. As at January 2010, there are 240 photographs available. Another 300 have been scanned and will be indexed over the next two or three months.

The pages used to display the photographs have been replaced and the technology changed^{(note 1)}. One effect is that photographs will be available as soon as they have been indexed, so there should be some new photographs available each week. Newly added photographs can always be seen in the set Recent additions.

There is now more emphasis on selecting photographs on a similar topic which are grouped in "sets". Many photographs belong to more than one set, and beneath the display of each photograph the sets are listed, so users can click on the set name to "swap" to another set. For a list of available sets click on sets.

The Society has been given many photographs and has collected many more from available archives. These are now being indexed and made available here.

There are two ways of searching for images:

select a predefined set or collection, or
make a keyword search

In each case a list of images selected, or thumbnails (small images) can be displayed, from which images can be selected to view. Alternatively, images selected can be viewed one-at-a-time.

The above do not provide for searching for photographs of a specific person or building.

To access photographs of a specify person use the person search facility.

To find photographs of buildings, select the building from a map.

For some group photographs, the name of each person can be overlaid on the photograph by clicking on the words "overlay names" below the photograph (example below).	For the better quality images, a zoom facility is available (click on the buttons at top left of each image - see example below).
