Tips on using the interface

The exhibition uses the Xerte toolkit developed by the Learning Team at The University of Nottingham. 

The navigation options at the top right corner allow you to move forward and back, or to open a table of contents for quick access to a particular page. 

Look out for the image toolbar at the top left corner of some images. This allows you to zoom in to see the image in more detail. Once zoomed, use the pointer tool to drag the image around. You can also choose to see a full-screen version of the image.
