Chronicling America
« on: Sunday 04 May 25 19:50 BST (UK) »
Anyone else having trouble with the Chronicling America site?  I can't load any images - it just says "Unable to open [object Object]: HTTP: 0 attempting to load Tile Source"

Yes, that website.  It's the search function that doesn't work for me (it always has in the past).  Specifically, I am trying to search for:  South Dakota, 1890-1933, E.M. Bishop.  A number of results are produced but none of the images can be displayed.

I've not used the site before but I put in your search and it comes up with a range of results  but it then says it's unable to open.

Thanks for trying.  It's not just me, then.  I'll try again tomorrow.

I've just played some more and clicked on the Image option, choosing an image number at random. An image of that page came up

I wonder if it has something to do with their "transition to a new interface" (on the banner at the top of the home page)? Unable to load images for me too.

I tried the new interface with the same result.  I have sent a question to "Ask a Librarian," but no doubt the Library of Congress has had its staff cut by the moron-in-chief, so I doubt I'll get a prompt reply, perhaps no reply at all.

The Chronicling America website is back to normal and functioning well.  Unfortunately, though, I didn't find what I was looking for.
