Keyword tags

  • You can add a keyword tag by typing in the “Keywords” box and clicking “Add.”
  • Keyword tags can be thematic, using a tag to group the image into a category of similar images. Example: “FWW” (for First World War) would be a thematic tag. Adding both “FWW” and “First World War” as keyword tags would further improve the ease of finding the image in our search engines using either term.
