You select one of the name ranges, and then it will list all the pages for that range. You then select one of those pages to get the actual image for that page.

Hmm, I tried that out and all I got was a list of name ranges. Must be doing something wrong. I'll try it again when I get home from work.
Thanks for the info.

Tim Starling has a demo of it at the link below. I don't know if he's still doing anything with it though. You might ask on wikitech-l.

For those who don't know, the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica is a famous
public domain encyclopedia, advertised as the "sum of all
human
knowledge" in 1911.
I recently (today) acquired a DVD containing
scans of every page of the
1911 Britannica, along with index files for it
all, organized by letter
and page number. I've already talked with avar,
TimStarling, and brion
on IRC, and TimStarling specifically asked me to tell
you all that he is
"confident that the server requirements will be minimal."
They would set
up a domain name, generate some web pages automatically using
the index
files, and host the entire set of 29,700 files totaling about 4
GB.
One more thing, these are black and white TIFs, and there is
discussion
about whether they should be mass converted to PNGs to be easily
viewable.
