The Birchbark Letters and Inscriptions corpora now feature photographs and drawings of the original historical texts.

By default, preview images are displayed in the concordance: photographs are shown on the left, and drawings are on the right. Clicking on an image opens it in full-screen mode, where users can zoom in or out on the drawings and photographs and download them as needed.

In KWIC mode and when selecting a subcorpus, images can only be viewed in full-screen mode by clicking the icon to the right of the text header.

There is a setting to hide images. This option is saved in the user’s browser, so upon returning to the corpus, the settings will remain, and the results will be displayed without images.

This new functionality was made possible through collaboration with the development teams of gramoty.ru and epigrafika.ru. These platforms provide more detailed information about the letters and inscriptions. We extend our gratitude to our colleagues and look forward to continued successful collaboration.
