Photo Albums
The photo albums contain images of decorations and Cambridge glass. Some of the images are taken from original catalogs while others are actual glass photographs. The albums are divided into categories and a search function is provided. The category list shows the number of albums in each category. This section is still under construction as new images are being added regularly; there are currently over 500 albums with more than 27,000 images.
To open an individual album, you first select a category or sub-category. This will take you to a list of albums in that category. Each album has a clickable image to open the album along with a description of the album contents. There may be multiple pages needed to display all the albums in that category. When you open an individual album you will see thumbnail images of the items. There may be multiple pages needed to display all the thumbnails in the album. Page numbers are found in the lower right if multiple pages are available. Each thumbnail will have an item description and any additional notes. You may click on the first image or any image to display a larger version of that image. When larger images are display, you can go to the previous or next image by clicking on the left or right arrows above the displayed image. You will also see the item description and additional notes when displaying the larger image. There are icons provided to return to the thumbnail view or to start an automatically advanced slide show. Item descriptions will not be shown during the automatic slide show.
On the righthand side of each page is a menu that provides navigation functions:
Home - Takes you to the album categories listing.
Login - You do NOT need to log in to view the photos albums. Login is used only by site administrators to create and edit the albums.
MVSG Home - Brings you back to our main web site where you are now.
Album list - Takes you to a list of the other albums in the same category as the album currently being viewed or the categories listing if no album is open.
Search - Allows you to search all albums using a number of search options. This is a powerful and handy function that allows you to enter one or more complete or partial words to create a custom album showing the items matching your parameters. The search page also shows a clickable list of keywords currently in use in the database. You can also use multiple keywords in the search box. You are NOT restricted to the use of keywords only in the search box. Note the checkmarks in the database fields to be searched.
