Visual History Archive

Notes about Profiles and Visual History Archive Access

• Any email address can be used to set up a profile or log in.  
• Access to the full Visual History Archive is restricted by IP address.  The full Archive can only be accessed if a user is coming from any subscribing institutions' IP addresses as access is managed only by IP address. If a user wants to access the full VHA remotely, they would need to go through their subscribing institution's network to get a valid IP either by using VPN or by library proxy.
• If a user logs in without authentication through a subscribing institution (for example, from home, or a coffee shop, or other place without authentication into the product), the user will default into the free version (VHA Online) that contains significantly less content. 
• Profiles are not matched to institutional IPs, so a user can create an account at one institution, then travel to another institution with access, and log in there with with the same credentials.
