Learning Trails
 What are
Learning Trails? These are one or more related resources,
documents or images, available for those who wish to undertake
research using original documents online. It should be noted
that many of these items are large and will take some time to
download. This is because these documents have been scanned to
higher resolutions than is usual, because of the need for these
documents to be readable on screen. Some of these documents are
also in colour which again increases the document size and
therefore the time taken for downloading.
It is assumed that those using the Learning Trail, as well as
the remainder of Slatesite, will have access to Adobe
Acrobat. This can be downloaded free form the Adobe Acrobat web
site.
