A small number of items in the digital image collection are under copyright. In those cases, there is typically a 'Copyright information' field on the image page that lists the copyright holder. We cannot grant permission for the reuse of those images; only the copyright holder can do so. In general, if there is a digital image of a publication, photograph, or other item that was originally produced in the 20th century or later, you should check with us about copyright. Please contact [mailto:photo@folger.edu photo@folger.edu].


With the exception of the items under copyright, the Folger Shakespeare Library makes everything else in the digital image collection available under the [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ Creative Commons license CC BY-SA 4.0].

==Features==
===[https://digitalcollections.folger.edu/reference_images Reference Images]===


The Folger digital image collection contains high resolution images requested for research, publication, and the web. Also included are items chosen for digitization by Curators, Conservators, and Reading Room Staff; or created for special projects, e.g., pre-1640 quarto editions of Shakespeare.
===[https://digitalcollections.folger.edu/microfilm_images Microfilm Images]===


Some images are accompanied by [http://hamnet.folger.edu/ Hamnet] descriptions of the entire item, but in most cases only abbreviated information exists.
==Searching for transcriptions==
In the collections dropdown next to the search box, narrow your search to '''Manuscripts'''--or narrow it even further by selecting a sub-collection, like '''Pre-1701 manuscripts''' or '''Newdigate family collection of newsletters'''. From the object type dropdown right below the search box, select '''Search for pages'''. This means your results will be individual image records, which are the record types that will have transcriptions when available. Removing object records from the results clears out some noise from the results list. In the search box itself, remember that spellings vary, and make liberal use of '''OR''' searching to search on multiple spellings. When looking for recipes with garlic, for instance, you may want to search for '''garlic OR garlick''', as below:


===Included Features===

==Fields==
==Working with media groups==
For instructions on exporting media groups from Luna, see https://folgerpedia.folger.edu/Migrating_media_groups_from_Luna


Basic keyword searching may be the best place for you to start searching the Folger digital image collection, for two reasons. First, a basic keyword search will find terms anywhere within whatever information accompanies an image. Second, our image databases are very much works in progress and some fields therefore are empty at the moment. ''To learn more about browsing and searching by keyword, refer to "Quick tips" below.''
Before beginning your work, make sure you're [https://digitalcollections.folger.edu/user/login signed in].


But use of the Advanced search feature can also be helpful in many cases, e.g. when searching for known items or when creating a persistent hyperlink for a specific subject, name, or boolean keyword search. This list of database fields is intended to help with Advanced searches, and with testing your Advanced search results. '' To learn more about these types of advanced searches, refer to "Digital Image Collection how-tos" below.''
[[File:MediaGroupMenu.png|350px]]


===Image details===
===Creating media groups===
''IMPORTANT:'' The "Image details" fields are mostly still empty. That is, even though they show up in the "search" drop-down menu, they contain no data, so a search will not produce results.
Select '''Add a new media group''' from the '''Create''' drop-down in the menu. This will open a form. You must give your new media group a title, and you can choose to add a description. You can begin to add items using the box below the description field, but we're not recommending that you use it right now. At the very bottom of the form, there's a check box. Check to make your media group public, or leave it unchecked to keep it private. Click the save button to finish creating your group.
:'''Image title:''' a brief description of the image.
:'''Image producer name(s):''' where available, names of those associated with creation of the image (e.g., artists and engravers).
:'''Transcribed information:''' transcription of printed or engraved captioning or title or title-like information.
:'''Image details:''' may include details about cropping, exact location within a larger work, etc.
:'''Image subject term(s):''' subject indexing of cultural and conceptual illustrative content.
:'''Image IconClass number(s):''' iconographic classification codes (combinations of numbers and letters) assigned from the IconClass index.
:'''Image bibliographical reference(s):''' citations to relevant reference works.
:'''Image order:''' provides details about the order of appearance, when multiple images occur within a larger work.
:'''Page height:''' a measurement in millimeters.
:'''Page width:''' a measurement in millimeters.
:'''Event title:''' a brief description of a Folger event where the photo was taken.
:'''Event date:''' the date of a Folger event where the photo was taken.


===Source details and administrative metadata===
===Adding to media groups===
Both individual images and entire objects can be added to media groups.


:'''Source creator:''' an author or other personal or corporate name associated with creation of the source in which the image appears.
To add items from a search results or browse page, hover over the thumbnail and click the '''+''' button that appears in the top left corner of the thumbnail. Choose the media group you'd like to add your object or image to from the list.
:'''Source title:''' title of the source in which the image appears.
:'''Source created or published:''' imprint -- or sometimes date only -- of the source in which the image appears.
:'''Physical description:''' details of pagination / foliation, and/or extent of illustration, and/or height in centimeters of the source in which the image appears.
:'''Copyright information:''' may contain rights information crediting individual photographers.
:'''Source call number:''' the designated shelf location for the the source in which the image appears.
:'''Digital image file name:''' a unique numeric ID for the image file.
:'''Digital image type:''' a field containing one of four possible values: FSL building, FLS collection, FSL event, or Theatre production.
:'''Hamnet catalog link:''' a hyperlink to the Hamnet bibliographic description (when available).
:'''ESTC catalog link:''' a hyperlink to the English Short Title Catalog bibliographic description (when available).
:'''Hamnet bib ID:''' a unique numeric ID for a relevant Hamnet bibliographic description.
:'''Hamnet holdings ID:''' a unique numeric ID for a relevant Hamnet copy-specific  description.
:'''Multiple page sort order:''' a non-displaying field that can be used in post-search sorting. Primarily used in sorting image sets for bound items digitized cover-to-cover.
===Hamnet catalog record===
Some images in the Folger digital image collection are accompanied only by abbreviated data records, with fields of the sort described above. However, other image descriptions are supplemented with bibliographic data pulled in from Hamnet.
Some of these Hamnet records may provide additional details that do not appear in "Image" or "Source" fields. Other Hamnet records may describe an entire source item, but may not fully describe the specific portion photographed.
The following fields from Hamnet records may appear in the LUNA digital image database descriptions:
:Creator
:Uniform title
:Title
:Alt. title
:Edition
:Place of creation or publ.
:Creator or publisher
:Date of creation or publ.  
:Physical description
:Folger holdings notes
:Notes
:Citations
:Subject
:Associated name
:In
:Call number


==Quick tips==
[[File:AddToMediaGroup.png|400px]]


The following tips and suggestions can help you get the results you are looking for when browsing the Digital Collection.
To add objects or images from a record page, just click the big red '''Add to media group''' button that's just under the viewer. Select the media group you'd like to add to from the list.


Some images are accompanied by Hamnet records which describe the entire item, not the specific portion photographed. In many cases only abbreviated data records are provided. Thumbnail browsing can be a great way to explore our content without having to enter search terms. In LUNA, you have the option of browsing through up to 250 thumbnails at a time. You can also narrow any browse or search results by selecting a What, Where, Who or When Category from the "Narrow Search" lists displayed on each screen of thumbnails. Follow this [http://doc.lunaimaging.com/display/V7D/Browsing+and+Viewing+Media link] for more about browsing in LUNA on the web.
===Viewing media groups===
 
To view media groups, just click the '''Media Groups''' link in the menu. You'll see all of your own media groups, as well as any public media groups. If you click into a group, you can get a permalink. If that group is one of your own, you'll also get an edit menu: from here, you can change the title or description, change between public and private, or delete your media group.
====Searching by Keyword in LUNA====
A search by keyword is often the best place to start. A keyword search finds terms anywhere within the information that accompanies an image. Keyword Search in LUNA works much like in a search engine, so you can use the AND, OR, NOT, and " " to help refine your search. You can also use wildcard characters like "*" and "?". For example, enter "Par*" for results like Paris, Parigi, Paraguay, etc. Enter "Rom?" for search results like Rome and Roma.


==Digital Image Collection how-tos==
==URL structure==
===Image records===
URLs for individual images are formed by appending the digital image file name (removing any leading zeroes) to the end of the base URL '''digitalcollections.folger.edu/img'''


Here are instructions and examples of how to create permanent links to images or searches, how to find known items, and how to get into our page-by-page pre-1640 Shakespeare quartos.
The digital image file name is number of up to six digits, and is the very first field in the image record on both the new digital collections site and on Luna:


=====Creating permalinks to one or more selected images or to a search=====
[[File:RootfileIslandora.png|200px]]      [[File:RootfileLuna.png|200px]]
At any point while in LUNA you can click on the "Share This" link and copy the displayed URL. This shortened permalink URL can be pasted into an email, text document or instant message so you can share your work with others. This is not the same as copying the URL from the browser. The "Share This" URL will ensure that the exact placement, zooming, and general look of your current view are preserved.


*Here's an [http://luna.folger.edu/luna/servlet/detail/FOLGERCM1~6~6~28512~102048:Civitatis-Orbis-Terrarum?trs=1&qvq=q%3ACall_Number%3D%22MAP+L85c+no.27%22+%3Bsort%3ACall_Number%2CAuthor%2CCD_Title%2CImprint%3Blc%3AFOLGERCM1~6~6&mi=0&cic=FOLGERCM1~6~6&sort=Call_Number%2CAuthor%2CCD_Title%2CImprint example] that will let you zoom in on the map at the top of this page.
By appending digital image file name '''72418''' to the base URL above, we get the link '''[https://digitalcollections.folger.edu/img72418 digitalcollections.folger.edu/img72418]'''
*Here's an [http://luna.folger.edu/luna/servlet/view/search?search=Search&q=map&QuickSearchA=QuickSearchA&pgs=250&res=2&cic=FOLGERCM1~6~6&sort=Call_Number%2CMPSORTORDER1%2CCD_Title%2CImprint example] that will retrieve all items with the keyword "map."


=====Searching for known items=====
Microfilm image records use the same style of file name, and their URLs are constructed in the same way. Bindings images records use a different and more complicated style of file names, so they instead use a default URL structure that is not predictable based on external IDs.
In many cases only abbreviated data records are provided. So a very useful LUNA search to know how to do is to search by call number:
#Choose Advanced Search in LUNA
#Use the third set of search boxes, the one that provides find this exact wording:
#Then choose Source Call Number  from the field dropdown
#When you begin typing the call number you'll get a dropdown showing you the available items in the call number range you are searching. Click the call number you want.


=====Searching for images of the Folger building=====
===Standard object records===
Whenever we have more than one image for an item--multiple pages in a book, for instance--we will also have a parent record linking all of the individual images together. The URL for these object records is formed by appending the bibliographic ID, a hyphen, and the holdings ID to the end of the base URL '''digitalcollections.folger.edu/bib'''
The main Folger Shakespeare Library building was designed by architect Paul Philippe Cret and is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. A variety of [http://www.folger.edu/Content/About-Us/Building-and-Grounds/ Virtual Tour] features on this website let you take a closer look, but the image database also includes over 100 images of the building. To browse these shots of the architecture and grounds:
#Choose Advanced Search in LUNA
#Use the third set of search boxes, the one that provides find this exact wording:
#Then choose Digital Image Type from the field dropdown
#Type 'FSL building' and click the search button.  


=====Accessing page-by-page views of books in the Folger collection=====
The bib and holdings IDs can be found in the catalog. The catalog URL for STC 6857, Tectonicon, is '''[https://catalog.folger.edu/record/163490 catalog.folger.edu/record/163490]''' The number at the end of the catalog URL--'''163490''' in this example--is the bib ID. If we look at that same record in the [https://catalog.folger.edu/record/163490/export/tm MARC view] (by appending '''/export/tm''' to the end of the catalog URL), we see that bib ID again at the top of the record, in the 001 field. Towards the bottom of the record, in field 852 subfield 7 ($$7), we can find the holdings ID--'''156904''' for this example.  
Check out [http://collation.folger.edu/2011/09/folger-tooltips-cover-to-cover/ Folger Tooltips: Cover-to-Cover] for details on accessing cover-to-cover page images of early printed books and bound manuscripts from the Folger collection.


=====Further questions, data errors, and software problems=====
By appending these IDs, separated with a hyphen, to the base URL above, we get the link '''[https://digitalcollections.folger.edu/bib163490-156904 digitalcollections.folger.edu/bib163490-156904]'''


Consult our "How To" guides and Luna Imaging's help manuals, referenced below. Email us at photo@folger.edu.
===Microfilm object records===
Microfilm object record URLs are formed in nearly the same way as standard object URLs. Because we may sometimes have both standard and microfilm images of the same item, we need to differentiate between the two. We do that for microfilm object records for including '''mf''' in the base URL: '''digitalcollections.folger.edu/mf_bib'''


== LUNA tutorials==  
The URL for the standard object record for V.a.269, which has bib ID '''231225''' and holdings ID '''280167''', is '''[https://digitalcollections.folger.edu/bib231225-280167 digitalcollections.folger.edu/bib231225-280167]''', and the URL for the microfilm object record for the same item is '''[https://digitalcollections.folger.edu/mf_bib231225-280167 digitalcollections.folger.edu/mf_bib231225-280167]'''
===Bindings object records===
Bindings object records are formed just like microfilm object records, replacing the '''mf''' prefix with '''bindings''', making the base URL for these items '''digitalcollections.folger.edu/bindings_bib'''

Searching for transcriptions

In the collections dropdown next to the search box, narrow your search to Manuscripts--or narrow it even further by selecting a sub-collection, like Pre-1701 manuscripts or Newdigate family collection of newsletters. From the object type dropdown right below the search box, select Search for pages. This means your results will be individual image records, which are the record types that will have transcriptions when available. Removing object records from the results clears out some noise from the results list. In the search box itself, remember that spellings vary, and make liberal use of OR searching to search on multiple spellings. When looking for recipes with garlic, for instance, you may want to search for garlic OR garlick, as below:

Working with media groups

For instructions on exporting media groups from Luna, see https://folgerpedia.folger.edu/Migrating_media_groups_from_Luna

Before beginning your work, make sure you're signed in.

Creating media groups

Select Add a new media group from the Create drop-down in the menu. This will open a form. You must give your new media group a title, and you can choose to add a description. You can begin to add items using the box below the description field, but we're not recommending that you use it right now. At the very bottom of the form, there's a check box. Check to make your media group public, or leave it unchecked to keep it private. Click the save button to finish creating your group.

Adding to media groups

Both individual images and entire objects can be added to media groups.

To add items from a search results or browse page, hover over the thumbnail and click the + button that appears in the top left corner of the thumbnail. Choose the media group you'd like to add your object or image to from the list.

To add objects or images from a record page, just click the big red Add to media group button that's just under the viewer. Select the media group you'd like to add to from the list.

Viewing media groups

To view media groups, just click the Media Groups link in the menu. You'll see all of your own media groups, as well as any public media groups. If you click into a group, you can get a permalink. If that group is one of your own, you'll also get an edit menu: from here, you can change the title or description, change between public and private, or delete your media group.

URL structure

Image records

URLs for individual images are formed by appending the digital image file name (removing any leading zeroes) to the end of the base URL digitalcollections.folger.edu/img

The digital image file name is number of up to six digits, and is the very first field in the image record on both the new digital collections site and on Luna:

RootfileIslandora.png RootfileLuna.png

By appending digital image file name 72418 to the base URL above, we get the link digitalcollections.folger.edu/img72418

Microfilm image records use the same style of file name, and their URLs are constructed in the same way. Bindings images records use a different and more complicated style of file names, so they instead use a default URL structure that is not predictable based on external IDs.

Standard object records

Whenever we have more than one image for an item--multiple pages in a book, for instance--we will also have a parent record linking all of the individual images together. The URL for these object records is formed by appending the bibliographic ID, a hyphen, and the holdings ID to the end of the base URL digitalcollections.folger.edu/bib

The bib and holdings IDs can be found in the catalog. The catalog URL for STC 6857, Tectonicon, is catalog.folger.edu/record/163490 The number at the end of the catalog URL--163490 in this example--is the bib ID. If we look at that same record in the MARC view (by appending /export/tm to the end of the catalog URL), we see that bib ID again at the top of the record, in the 001 field. Towards the bottom of the record, in field 852 subfield 7 ($$7), we can find the holdings ID--156904 for this example.

By appending these IDs, separated with a hyphen, to the base URL above, we get the link digitalcollections.folger.edu/bib163490-156904

Microfilm object records

Microfilm object record URLs are formed in nearly the same way as standard object URLs. Because we may sometimes have both standard and microfilm images of the same item, we need to differentiate between the two. We do that for microfilm object records for including mf in the base URL: digitalcollections.folger.edu/mf_bib

The URL for the standard object record for V.a.269, which has bib ID 231225 and holdings ID 280167, is digitalcollections.folger.edu/bib231225-280167, and the URL for the microfilm object record for the same item is digitalcollections.folger.edu/mf_bib231225-280167

Bindings object records

Bindings object records are formed just like microfilm object records, replacing the mf prefix with bindings, making the base URL for these items digitalcollections.folger.edu/bindings_bib

An example will be added shortly.
