Finding an item

If you are looking for a specific topic, name or date, use the Search field in the top Right Hand corner of the panel. It reads ‘Enter Search Term …’ – type in the word/s or figure/s.

The Tag Cloud contains a list of key words representing some of the most topics, names and dates which appear most frequently in the Archive. Click on any of these which are of interest.

If you wish to scroll through a list of all the entries, click on  ‘Archive’ (or Entries) in the top menu bar. There is a list of different categories into which the entries have been placed and you can click on one of these to go straight to the category. Under the category, you will see headings and dates relating to each item. Click on the one you choose.

Entries

This will take you to a panel with the header you have selected. In the panel are two sets of content. First, text  which either describes the items available under this heading or contains the text from the original article or web page. Below, after a gap, is index information, telling you when the item was created, by whom and where it is stored. Paper records are stored either in the Managing Secretary’s Office or in the Hampshire Records Office in Winchester.

When you roll the cursor over the panel header it becomes an active link to another page. Click on this and you will be taken to a second panel dedicated to this topic. In many cases, this is the same as the first entry you saw. It will have an extra panel at the bottom which contains links to other items related to this entry. It may also offer a link to, for instance, photographs stored in the Liphook Archive Gallery.

Photo gallery

Many photographs are stored in a Picasa gallery (part of the Google environment). When you click on a link in the Archive, you will be taken to a display of small images; click on any of them and you will be shown a larger image of that photo.

To see all the albums in the Gallery, click on (Liphook Archive Photos) and you will see one image each from the large number of categories of photos. Click on any one and you will be taken to the complete collection under that heading.
