Categories
All the Traps, Books and other Collectables have been grouped into categories listed down the left hand side of the website. Clicking on any of those will take you to a display of all the objects that we have of that type. The categories are hierarchical – which just means that there are several levels. For instance if you select ‘Books’ you see all our books of all the different types, but if you select ‘Trap Collecting’ you’ll only see those books and not the rest.
Tags
Sometimes there are things that items have in common that cross the categories – such as target species, county of origin or the material that they’re made from. In the top right hand corner of the site you’ll see something called a ‘tag cloud’. By clicking on a tag which you’re interested in, say rabbit for example, you’ll be taken to a collection showing any item on the site that relates to that tag.
Museum
Museum exhibits are denoted by a † symbol at the end of their title. This is to avoid any confusion with products for sale as both will show up in Related Products and be returned by searches.
Individual Entries
All of the images are high definition and will expand if you ‘click’ them. We do make every effort to correctly identify and date all the items, but we cannot guarantee that we’ve always got it right. If you know more then please use the comments and tell us !
