How do I search for images in the BHL collection?

Hidden within the pages of BHL books and journals are millions of visual resources including drawings, paintings, diagrams, maps, charts, tables, and photographs. They range in size from small, black and white line drawings interspersed within text to full page plate color images.

Image searching within BHL is limited at this time. Searching can only be done at the item (i.e., book or volume) level. Once you’ve identified an item of interest, you can open it in the book viewer and use the thumbnail view to quickly browse for images.
