Instructions for Use

From the Hpac Welcome Screen select a database to view by clicking its’ title button.

Searches are carried out using keywords which are stored in an hierarchical three level structure, the keywords are selected from the drop down list adjacent to the Level1/2/3 field names. When the keyword has been selected click on Search to view the matching images.

Searches can be carried out on more than one keyword, these are selected as above but the keywords must be separated by clicking the And / Or buttons. For example to do a search on Agriculture or Architecture first select Agriculture from the level 1 list, click the or button then select Architecture from the level 1 list. The keywords box will now display Agriculture Or Architecture, click on Search to display the records matching those keywords. Carry out the same procedure for doing and searches but click the "And" button rather than the Or button. Keywords may be typed directly into the keyword box but always ensure that each keyword is separated by And / Or.

To do a search on keywords from other levels first select the level 1 keyword, click on the "And" or ‘Or’ button then select a keyword from level 2. Searches may be done on multiple keywords but always ensure that the keywords are separated by the And / Or operators.

Searches may be done by typing keywords directly into the keywords box then clicking on Search. As with searches from the keyword levels keywords must be separated by And / Or. Searching on the Keywords field works on the 'Within' principle so searching on Boat will bring up words such as lifeboat, lifeboat men etc.

Clicking on Search will display the thumbprint images matching the selected keywords. Click on Zoom to enlarge the images, click on hi-res to view the high resolution images (if available). Click on Add to Order to order a copy of the image. Click on Order to send an email of your order.
