Click It
The pages are planned, as many sites are, to work without
the need for help messages: fond hope.
The basic hint for navigating the main pages is:-
click any button or image to see if it does
something.
On index pages in a left frame, the index entries,
words, are the buttons.
This page opens in a new window. You can minimise it
onto the toolbar for future reference while using the
site.

Nearly all map images are buttons. The thumbnails
goto a screen size image with description;
screen size images goto large images, BEWARE you
may be loading a large file; large images go back
to wherever the thumbnail was.

Warning
1. The large images of maps presented in these pages
are sometimes very large files. The largest may be 1 to
2 Mbytes even in their .jpg compressed form. These files
take a significant time to load; be aware of this when
calling up the large images.
2. The catalogue of the collection in Identity number order
has some large pages, all pages have many thumbnail images
and can take a while to load.
3. The tabulated checklist on a single page has many thumbnail
images and will take a while to load.
4. If you are running these pages from CD then many large
images will appear to be missing. If you arrive at a
missing page message, use 'go back', eg Alt+left arrow,
to escape the problem.
The total website is so large it is provided on 2 CDs, the
second CD has many of the large images. It is best if the
contents of the two CDs are loaded onto the PC and run from
hard drive not CD.
Each CD has all data, except the html start page, in a
folder called hantscat. Copy both these
onto c: drive (or a drive of your choice) allowing the
contents of folders to be merged.
