Known Hazards and Most Favorable Conditions of the Archive

The Blake Archive will function well with all up-to-date versions of major computer operating systems and Web browsers. We recommend that you use the latest version of Java, which can be downloaded here.
If possible, your monitor should be set to Gamma 1.8 and a White Point of 5000K, as these are the settings used for color-correcting the in-line and enlarged images in the Archive.

Most internet browsers now include a pop-up block feature that prevents Web sites from opening up new windows. This feature will prevent you from accessing some resources and tools in the Blake Archive. When using the Archive, you will need to allow the site to open pop-up windows in your browser by selecting the appropriate command in your browser (such as allowing this site to open any new windows, or simply turning off the pop-up blocker in the Tools/Options for your browser).

Most internet browsers automatically resize large images so as to fit them in the navigation window. This feature will reduce the image enlargements that the Blake Archive provides for every available object (in the Show Me menu on each Object View Page). When this occurs in your browser, you can either return the image to its full size (by resizing it again in the window) or simply turn off the resizing feature (in the Tools/Options of your browser).
