Scanned pages are available in two formats: scanned images (GIF/JPEG) and Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). PDF versions are higher-resolution but take longer to download, and they require that you have the freely available Adobe Acrobat Reader installed. Click on the Adobe icon below to download the free Reader.

Audio clips are available in a variety of formats, some of which require special plug-ins for your web browser. See listening to audio for more information.

Photographs are in JPEG format and are viewable in any web browser.
