Digimap Login Help

If you have forgotten your password please talk to your local support staff within your institution. EDINA does not issue passwords. There is no special password for Digimap. You should use the same password as for other electronic resources to which your institution provides you with access.

If you are having trouble logging in to Digimap, please try the following instructions.

The Login Page

The Digimap login page looks like this:

Click the Login button.

• If you have already authenticated with your institution since you last re-started your web browser, this should take you straight into the service. You may have already authenticated by logging in to your local portal.
• If you have NOT already authenticated, you will be prompted to do so. This involves specifying which institution you are from and then giving your username and password.

Selecting your home institution

First, specify which institution you wish to authenticate with. If you have not already authenticated, after clicking the login button you should see a drop-down list of institutions. It may look like this:

Choose your own institution from the drop down list and click the "Select" button. Then enter your username and password as requested and click OK. NOTE: If you can't find your own institution listed here, please talk to your local support team for help. Your local authentication system may not be set up in a way that permits access to Digimap.
