In order to access certain resources on the website, it is necessary that the user is logged in. Members of the society can request user credentials from the society digital archivist. Because there are several systems that make up the digital archive, there are actually several places that you may have to log in. The process is made simple by a single login granting access to many resources. Note however, that different aspects grant access for different times and so sometimes you may be asked to enter your credentials again. This page explains how to log in to all of the different parts.
