The supported browsers for this site are Internet Explorer 6+, Netscape Navigator 6+, Mozilla 1.7+, Firefox 1+ for Windows, and Safari 1.2+ for the Macintosh. Other browsers may work, but total functionality is not guaranteed in those cases.

Macromedia's Flash Player (version 6+) is required to load the viewer.

JavaScript should also be enabled in your browser.

There are four ways to interact with the viewer image:

In addition to navigating with the given toolbar buttons, you can do the following:

1) Drag the image with your mouse cursor. Clicking anywhere on the image will allow you to zoom in on more specific features.

Note: the above is only true for non-full-screen mode.

2) Use your keyboard. Refer to the Keyboard Navigation section of this documentation for a listing of the keys you can use.

Pressing the Auto Scroll button will present you with the option to automatically scroll in a certain direction. Choose the direction by clicking on the corresponding arrow button. This will set the image in motion continously. All button, keyboard and mouse navigation remains active during this scrolling (allowing you to zoom in and out while it moves, for instance). If auto-scrolling is active, the Stop Scroll button will be made available.

To stop scrolling at any point, simply click on the Stop Scroll button.

Comparing Scrolls

The Compare button will allow you to view any two scrolls of like layout simultaneously. Pressing the button will load a list of all available scrolls: Choose the scroll you would like to compare the base scroll with and click "Compare."

Hotspot Notes

If the scroll you are viewing has hotspot notes, a Show Hotspots button will appear. Clicking on this button will display all hotspots associated with the scroll. Clicking on the hotspot label will 1) open a new window containing the hotspot note, and 2) re-adjust the viewer to the view and zoom of the target area.

After clicking on the Full Screen button, your browser should resize to fit the entire screen. An enlarged version of the scroll image will then be loaded. You will be presented with a new toolbar. This toolbar is draggable, and you can move it to any position by pressing and holding the hand icon .

After a few seconds of inactivity, the toolbar will hide (moving your mouse will make it reappear). It's also useful to note that the toolbar will remain hidden during keyboard navigation.

To exit full screen mode and return to normal view, click the red close button on the right-hand side of the toolbar.

You can toggle the visibility of hotspot notes by pressing the "Show Hotspots" button at the top right-hand corner of the screen.

Keyboard Navigation

The following keys allow you to interact with the image in place of the toolbar buttons:

A - Zoom in
Z - Zoom out

CTRL - Hide/Show Locator and Information (full-screen mode) components

ESC - Exit Full Screen mode
Spacebar - Deactivate auto-hiding of toolbar (full screen mode only)

Left arrow - Move image left
Up Arrow - Move image up
Down Arrow - Move image down
Right Arrow - Move image right

• If you can see an image, but it appears blurred or partially loaded, you may need to wait a few seconds while it downloads the remaining sub-images from the server.


• If certain "blocks" on the image appear to be taking longer than they should to load, try clicking on one or more of the arrow buttons (or pressing the arrow keys) until the image is fully loaded.


• If the entire view is blurred for more than a minute (or two, if on a slower connection), then try reloading your browser [CTRL+R].

This is a known issue which should not affect your viewing.

Auto-scrolling is slow or jittery
Auto-scrolling is CPU intensive--so the faster your computer, the smoother auto-scrolling will be.
