Photos
There are over 800 photographs
of flood related images arranged in folders by decade. The
photographs have been retrieved from a variety of sources including
newspaper and museum archives and photographs from individual donors.
Users are advised that copyright is retained by the original owners and
copying is prohibited. To view the photographs, the user will need
Adobe Acrobat Reader mounted on their computer. For the added ability
to execute a search within each folder, Acrobat Reader version 7 or above
is required. A free copy of the latest reader can be downloaded from www.adobe.com.
On selecting one of
the following folders, Acrobat Reader may display a slide show of the
photographs for that decade. To stop the slide show, close it.
It may also prompt the user to download Acrobat software. If the software
is not wanted, close this prompt.
Acrobat Reader
displays the photographs individually. View them by scrolling through
the main window or select them by scrolling through the thumbnails.
If you have Acrobat Reader 7 installed, the pictures can also be searched
for keywords by clicking on the Search icon (the binoculars).
The Excel spreadsheet
lists the attributes of each photo and facilitates filtering them.
Thus photos can be searched for attributes such as place taken,
rural/suburban, built environ/agricultural, colour/sepia, etc.

to view)
