How these are found
The Moon's shadow on the Earth: each place's own kind, share of the Sun and first and last contact, from its coordinates, said where the Sun is below the horizon at a contact. The eclipses are those of NASA's Five Millennium Canon (Espenak and Meeus), on its dates and of its kinds, as the year's page says. Customs at an eclipse are each tradition's and are not given here.
