- Sign up for an OpenID to use when you login to AASHO.
With OpenID, you create a single username and password
that you can use to log into an increasing number of sites without registering each time. You can use Aquifer American Social History Online without registering, but logging in with your OpenID allows you to save your search histories, set your profile preferences, access a record in its native format, and access metadata transformation tools.
- Download and install the Zotero extention. Zotero is a free, easy-to-use research tool that helps you gather and organize resources (bibliography or full text of articles), and then lets you annotate, organize and share the results of your research. Please note that Zotero works only in Firefox.

If your research or teaching requires the use of images, we include support for the University of Virginia Library's
Collectus and ImageViewer tools.
To view and organize newly created or previously saved image collections, and to generate slide shows for use in the classroom,
right click on the Collectus icon
 which is near the top of all images shown on your search results page.
Note that for some images the only size currently available is thumbnail. We are actively working to provide access to at least screen-size
images for all objects in the portal.
