How to View Images / Text

The Milroy Collection at the Jasper County Public Library

Begin on the main page by clicking the Browse Here link. You can then browse through the entire collection of 721 documents, 20 items at a time.  

To view images

 You can click on either the image or the highlighted link (under Title) for each item in the collection. Use the page directory in the upper right hand corner to view more items.

 Clicking on an item will take you to a screen with the image of that page of the document you selected. Any related pages in the same document will be available as links in a column on the left side of the page.

 To read a text translation

 On the upper left side of the page is an option box that should read “document description.” Select “page & text” and click “go.” A new page will open with the image of the document and a text translation of the document beside it.

 The option “page description” will give you just the text without the image.

 To go back

 To return to your main list of items, use the “back to results” link above the option box on the left side. Clicking the “back” button on your browser will eventually return you to the list as well, but with several steps between.

How to search

All of the documents in the Milroy collection have been indexed with key words as well as in most cases the words of the text itself. Searching for terms such as “butternut” or names such as “Tatman” should lead to useful lists.

You can begin your search on the main page with the “Search Here” link, or at any time by clicking the “Advanced Search” link. You can also search the collection from the search box in the upper right hand corner.
