Arranged by classification tag
See also images plotted by location
Tag relates to the location of images, their photographer or publisher, and their subject classification. Selecting tags work as filter and multiple tags have an additive effect. For example selecting the tag "Addiewell" displays all images from the village of Addiewell, or selecting the tag "Churches" displays all churches. When both the tags "Addiewell" and "Churches" are selected, only churches in Addiewell will be displayed. Toggle switches allow select between images published as postcards, and other photographs.
