Saving to Boards

You can use Personal Boards to create a curated view of archived items specific to your needs. Whether you save items for later reference, or collect archived items for motivation or inspiration, Personal Boards can only be viewed by you. Neither History Factory archivists nor administrators can see Personal Boards.

To add an asset to a Board, start by selecting an archived item(s) and clicking “Add to Boards” in the Bulk Actions Bar.

From there, you will have the option to add the item(s) to a new Board or to an existing Board. In the example below, the two selected archived items will be added to a new Personal Board labeled “Inspirational Inventions.”

Your assets will populate in the My Boards section, which can be accessed by clicking your username on the top right, and selecting “My Boards.”

A new Board can also be created without adding assets by clicking + Create Board, within the My Boards page.

Note: Boards can’t be shared with other users; they are only for personal use.
