The Digital Orchid Library is a collaboration between Michigan State University, the American Orchid Society, the Missouri Botanical Garden, and the National Agricultural Library. Page images for the digitized titles are available in two ways:

• The "View page images" option makes individual pages accessible through a page-turning interface which allows the user to select the next or previous image or to specify an image number to be viewed.
• The "View transcript" option generates links to all page images arranged under the chapter or section headings of the book. Tables of contents and back-of-book indexes are reproduced in full, with hyperlinks leading to the page to which they refer. This method of display is one we are experimenting with, and welcome feedback from users. Two books have been transcribed in this manner: Orchid Culture and About Orchids. Both can be found in the category "Narratives on Orchid Growing."
