Hello List, Can someone explain to me how SEAX works? I seem to be able to enter searches and see it's holdings, but I cannot figure out how to access them. Is it just a record of holdings or are these items digitized? Does it track items for UK customers to bring into their local libraries or something? I am in Canada, how can I access this information? Sorry for the newbie question... Many thanks, Jennifer Researching in Essex: RICHARDSON, DRAIN, CLARKE, TOMLIN, etc...

Any search will give a list of results (obviously). If there's just a description, such as; 12 D/DU 2318/10 Photograph of Leslie RATCLIFF Speakman 1914-1918 Then there is nothing online, except a (slightly) more detailed listing of the holding. If there's am icon that looks like a picture frame, then there's also digitised images. For eaxmple; 2 T/Z 562/1 Digital copies of photograph album of Speakman family of Danbury, c.1870 - early 20th century [Item contains images.] 1870-1940 Note the part [Item contains images.]. That is where the icon is located. Click that icon, and you'll go to a page with description and a drop-down list of the images available. They could number quite a few. Hope this helps. -- Regards _ / ) "The blindingly obvious is / _)rad never immediately apparent" We don't give a damn One Chord Wonders - The Adverts
