Multimedia Gallery Search Back to Help

The Multimedia Gallery Search allows you to view images, hear recordings and/or view video associated with your subject. In the search box, you enter a subject term, title, or caption. The documents retrieved are displayed in a single list arranged alphabetically by document title.  Select the type of media you wish to retrieve (images, audio files, video files, maps, flags, and seals).  Media documents are also searched through the other searches as well, and are displayed on the Multimedia tab. Select the document that you would like to see.  The different media types will display as follows:

Image Select the link. A .jpg image is displayed.
Audio File Select the link. A Shockwave control bar appears and the audio file loads. Select the player to begin playing (there might be a slight delay while the file is buffering)
Video Clip A QuickTime control bar will appear in a new window when you click on the video link. A video file will begin to play once buffered.
Map Select the link.  A PDF image is displayed.
Flag Select the link. A .jpg image is displayed.
Seal Select the link. A .jpg image is displayed.

If you want to see a list of all the media images in Discovering Collection, leave the text box blank and hit "Search." If you want to see a list of only a certain type of media (image, audio, video, map, flag, or seal), deselect the media element check box(es) you are not interested in, leave the text box blank and hit "Search."
