Search Tips:

• To retrieve the most results, begin your search using a single keyword. Each time you add more terms, you retrieve fewer results.

• Use an & for and. Using an & between words retrieves records that contain both words. Example: photographs & band finds any record that has both the words photographs and band.

• If you type words side by side, the database recognizes them as a phrase. Example: Pennsylvania Military Academy will bring up only those records that include this exact phrase.

• To search by subject, select a subject from the drop-down box. If you use both a keyword and a subject, you will retrieve fewer results.

• Use an * to find multiple word endings. Example: athlet* will find occurrences of athletic, athletics, athlete and athletes.

• Use a / for or. Using a / between words retrieves records that contain at least one of the words. Example: Kirkbride / Kapelski will find any record with either Kirkbride or Kapelski.
