FINAL NOTICE:
Prior Version of PA Photos and Documents to be Sunset on 11/1
This notice provided to library staff is to alert you that the old version of PA Photos and Documents, which resided on a CONTENTdm software platform, will be fully sunset on 11/1/2022. Staff and patrons who accessed items on the previous platform via bookmarks, web links, or web searches, will be redirected to a notice to use the new PA Photos and Documents service hosted on Islandora. 

What do libraries need to do?
If you provide links to collections or specific items hosted in PA Photos and Documents, please be sure that links point to the PA Photos and Documents service on the domain that begins with:
https://digitalarchives.powerlibrary.org/

The correct and incorrect domains for PA Photos and Documents are demonstrated below:
If you provide links that point to the incorrect domain, it will be necessary to update them.

What will it cost my school to make SSO available?
There is no additional fee to add SSO authentication for public school districts. However, every school in the district must participate in POWER Library. Private schools will be assessed a small annual fee to add SSO authentication.
