TIPS FOR SEARCHING

KEYWORD SEARCH

The Keyword Search button allows you to perform a general search across multiple fields for any catalog records online. Keyword searches use OR as the default connector between words (e.g. a search for Brunswick Billiards will return records associated with Brunswick OR Billiards). If you want to find records where both keywords are found, type in AND between the two words. To search for a specific phrase, be sure to put the phrase within quotes (e.g. "Brunswick Billiards"). You can also use the asterisk (*) as a wildcard (e.g. a search for hist* would come up with records containing history, histories, historical, etc.). Searches are not case sensitive.

ADVANCED SEARCH

The Advanced Search button can help you be more specific with your search. You can search for a word or phrase within a particular search category or use multiple categories to further narrow down your search results. For example, searching Brunswick in the People field will bring up any records associated with a member of the Brunswick family, without having to sift through black & white photographs. You can also search People and Creator records through Advanced Search. Phrase searching with quotes and use of wildcards (*) are available in Advanced Search.

IMAGES

The Images button is a great way to just browse the collection. Each Images page displays a random assortment of images from the records online. If something piques your interest, click the thumbnail to view a larger version of the image.

CATALOG SEARCHES

The catalog buttons can also help narrow down your search, by only searching with a selected catalog (Archives / Photos / Libraries / Objects). If you only want to search for Photos, click the Photos button and type in your keyword(s) or phrase. You can also browse records within that catalog without performing a search. Phrase searching, wildcards (*) as well as AND/OR statements are available when performing catalog searches.
