- How to search: We have provided several ways to search the database:
- Filters: Keywords represent general themes. The data can be filtered by one, two or all three filters.
- Record ID: An image may be retrieved by individual ID number.
- Word or Phrase: Words or phrases found in the descriptions. The search does not discriminate whole or partial words, or case; therefore "pin" will find "Pin," "pin," "opinion" or "Philippines," etc.
- Predefined sets: Sets connect images related to specific events.
Note: If results are not consistent with search request, reset the search engine and try again.
- How to download: 1)Left click on the thumbnail to get the larger image. 2)Right click on the larger image and then Save As...
- Image quality:
The images on this site have been scanned or otherwise reproduced with computer screen quality in mind. Almost all images will be satisfactory for PowerPoint or other computer presentations. We can provide higher resolution for print publication purposes on request.
The quality of the web images depends mostly on the quality of the source. Most images in this collection are scanned from first-generation prints or original negatives. Good black and white prints based on medium to large format negatives provide the best quality and tonal gradation. Kodachrome slides, even if 50 or more years old, provide the best color, but not as effective in low or artificial light. Ektachrome slides are prone to excessively high contrast and fading. Kodacolor negatives reproduce fairly well. Good color prints reproduce quite well also.
- Main image file format and dimensions: The main image files are in .jpg format, generally between 400k and 1mb, the long side not exceeding about 1000px. These dimensions are exceeded where the images are of unusually high photographic value, or where high resolution is needed to read important details.
- We need your help: We are often unable to identify many of the people in the older photographs. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Please contact the Archivist.
