Lane genealogy book plates

Thumbnails keyed to PDF pages and tree IDs; counts update when you filter or change show-hidden.

A digital index of plates from Lane Genealogies (1891)—reproductions from a printed book, not modern scans. Faded paper and halftones are typical of the period.

About this digital archive (technical notes)
Large tan “empty” boxes are usually not a deployment bug. Each card loads a real JPEG under /family/assets/lane-pdf/. Early pages often decode as plain paper or very faint prints in the scanned book (example: page 4 next to portrait plates on other pages). That looks the same in local dev and in production if the same assets are deployed.

Embedded images from lanegenealogies01chap.pdf, joined to tree people by matching sourceRefs.pdfPageNumber. Multiple names on the same page are flagged as ambiguous; confirm links in data/lane-pdf-person-portraits.json.

Streams that fail to decode (for example JBIG2 without jbig2dec) are omitted from this grid; counts in the bar above include how many were skipped.

About these plates. Most portraits and scenes here are late-19th- and early-20th-century photographs (and related book illustrations) reproduced in a printed genealogy. Expect uneven contrast, silvering or fading in the originals, yellowed paper, halftone screening, and occasional blank or nearly blank pages from tissue inserts or lightly exposed images. What you see is typical of period books and digitization, not a defect in this viewer.

These plates are late-19th- and early-20th-century book reproductions; faded paper, halftones, and uneven contrast are normal for the period.

Clears PDF page/id filters, removes your personally hidden plate IDs from this browser, and turns on the checkbox so every thumbnail is shown again. Also use this when the page filter was set to 0 by mistake (that matches no PDF page). Does not delete Saved views (presets stay in this browser).
Saved views Saved views are stored server-side (Postgres) with the same browser clientId as your hide list—filters + denylist checkbox only; personal hides stay on the hides API. Export presets downloads lane-pdf-gallery-filter-presets.json (backup you can re-import elsewhere).

Personal Hide from gallery removes thumbnails immediately (saved in Postgres). The checkbox below only reveals or hides plates on the shared server denylist.

Your hides are tied to this browser and stored in Postgres (server API). Client id in localStorage. Export/import JSON merges into the same hide list. Shared repo denylist: data/lane-pdf-gallery-hidden.json.
