You can search within the main image and map galleries using the search bar at the top right-hand side, or you can filter the main 'Image Gallery' by 'Theme(s)' or by 'Image Type'. From here you can view the full-size images and related metadata, as well as download images as PDFs, run a slideshow or create your own bespoke collection of images using the 'My Lightbox' function.

Users are able to select multiple images, using the adjacent tick boxes and then export them as a PDF or run them as a slideshow using the options in this list. Users can opt to view images as larger thumbnails with accompanying image details by selecting list view from the drop-down 'Display Options' list.
