The Ames Historical Society shares many images
which can be viewed at greater size or resolution than is commonly used
on websites. When passing your mouse indicator over those images,
you will see click to enlarge. Much more information can be
gleaned from these larger photos if you are willing to wait the extra time
it takes for them to load.
However, if your browser is new enough to automatically
resize these images to fit your screen, you will miss the richer experience
that much greater detail can offer.
In that case, you must either:
(1) Try to find and click the resize icon
at the lower right corner of the resized image to bring it back to full
size, or
(2) Turn off this automatic resize feature
of your browser.
