View Historic Newspapers  of My Area Badge

Question

How do I add a "View historic images of my area" [in the DLG] badge to my library's website?

Answer

Libraries can add a canned search badge to their library website that searches DLG for historic newspapers for their area. 

Image file URLs (400 x 600 pixels)

2. Create the html snippet to add to your website.

For a single county: <a href="https://gahistoricnewspapers.galileo.usg.edu/counties/[CountyName]/"><img src="[imagefileURL]"></a>

e.g., For Bartow County using a JPG with no border, for example: <a href="https://dlg.usg.edu/records?utf8=%E2%9C%93&op=AND&all_fields=&title=&description=&collection_name=&creator=&subject=&provenance=&spatial=&f_inclusive%5Bcounties_facet%5D%5B%5D=Bartow&f_inclusive%5Btype_facet%5D%5B%5D=StillImage&sort=score+desc%2C+year+asc&search_field=advanced&commit=Search"><img src="https://dlg.galileo.usg.edu/dlg/jpg/400-x-600-view-historic-images-no-border.jpg"></a>

For multiple counties: <a href="https://dlg.usg.edu/records?utf8=%E2%9C%93&op=AND&all_fields=&title=&description=&collection_name=&creator=&subject=&provenance=&spatial=&f_inclusive%5Bcounties_facet%5D%5B%5D=[COUNTY1]&f_inclusive%5Bcounties_facet%5D%5B%5D=[COUNTY2]&f_inclusive%5Btype_facet%5D%5B%5D=StillImage&sort=score+desc%2C+year+asc&search_field=advanced&commit=Search"><img src="[imagefileURL]"></a>

For Calhoun, Clay, Quitman, Randolph, Terrell, and Webster using a JPG with a border, for example,

<a href="https://dlg.usg.edu/records?utf8=%E2%9C%93&op=AND&all_fields=&title=&description=&collection_name=&creator=&subject=&provenance=&spatial=&f_inclusive%5Bcounties_facet%5D%5B%5D=Calhoun&f_inclusive%5Bcounties_facet%5D%5B%5D=Clay&f_inclusive%5Bcounties_facet%5D%5B%5D=Quitman&f_inclusive%5Bcounties_facet%5D%5B%5D=Randolph&f_inclusive%5Bcounties_facet%5D%5B%5D=Terrell&f_inclusive%5Bcounties_facet%5D%5B%5D=Webster&f_inclusive%5Btype_facet%5D%5B%5D=StillImage&sort=score+desc%2C+year+asc&search_field=advanced&commit=Search"><img src="https://dlg.galileo.usg.edu/dlg/jpg/400-x-600-view-historic-images-w-border.jpg"></a>
