The New NEHGS Website Design

NEHGS has just launched a new version of our website. We hope that you will find our new website easier to navigate. There are a few new things you should know about our website.

HOW DO I GET BACK TO THE HOMEPAGE THERE IS NO HOME BUTTON? 
Click on the New England Historic Genealogical Society Logo in the upper left hand corner of any page and you will be linked back to the homepage of our website. The web standard for linking back to the homepage is to click on the logo for the website.

How do I get back to the homepage of a section?
Once you are in a specific section of the website, the main navigation to that section will be located on the left hand side of the page. To return to the landing page of a section (ex. Databases & Research) simply click on the tab button at the top of the page or the navigation on the left hand side of the page.

Where is the printer-friendly option?
To print a printer-friendly version of a page you can simply go to file and print in your browser window. The site will automatically give you a printer-friendly version. When printing images such as those found in the Massachusetts Vital Records 1841 - 1910, it is best to view the image in full screen mode. Zoom in on the area of the document you wish to print and then right-click with your mouse on the image and select print.
