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:
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.
An example will be added shortly.
