2023 upgrade

The migration to the new system changed the URL assigned to each object. So if you have a link from the old site, it will no longer work. Here are some tips that you can use when trying to track down the new link.

If you have the object ID or title

Search by the ID or title, keeping in mind that the ID's take on several forms:

• For more recent materials, especially documents like the "1940 snow surveys graph" from the Church collection, the ID will look like: NC96_22_64_10_2
• Photographs, especially from older collections, will have an ID similar to the one used for the image of "Buckhorn Restaurant, Kings Beach" in the Lake Tahoe collection: UNRS-P2007-04-25

If you have the URL

Search using the Digital Archive Legacy ID, which is the string of data following the last forward slash in the URL.

• For example, let's say that you have the URL for the text data from the Senator Heller collection:
  • https://unr.dgicloud.com/islandora/object/heller%3A3527
• In this case, the legacy ID is: heller%3A3527
• It can also be represented as heller_3527 or heller:3527

If you only have the collection or object title

• Consider browsing its home collection or using general keywords to narrow down the number of search results
• Should these options fail, contact our team and we will help you find the object

We know that downloading objects in our previous version of the Digital Archive was a challenge. It was a multi-step process that was hard to navigate and sometimes did not work.

With that in mind, we simplified things in the new version. Now, if an object is available for download, you just click the download link and the download process will automatically begin.

What does the metadata tell me?

This metadata block is where you will find detailed information about the item and the digital copy. Most of the time, everything we know about an individual image can be found documented here. If you need something scanned at a higher resolution, please contact our team using the help form.
