Here are instructions and examples of how to create permanent links to images or searches, how to find known items, and how to get into our page-by-page pre-1640 Shakespeare quartos.
How do I create a permalink to one or more selected images, or to a search?
Using LUNA on the web: At any point while in LUNA you can click on the Share This link and copy the displayed URL. This shortened permalink URL can be pasted into an email, text document or instant message so you can share your work with others. This is not the same as copying the URL from the browser. The Share This URL will ensure that the exact placement, zooming, and general look of your current view are preserved.
- Here's an example that will let you zoom in on the map at the top of this page.
- Here's an example that will retrieve all items with the keyword "map."
