Search Tips
Within search boxes:
- To do a wildcard search use "*" at the end of a string of letters.
Example: "nurs*" will find nurses, nursing, etc.
- To narrow a search (boolean "and") use "&" between the search terms.
Example: "war & military" will find records in which both words occur.
- To broaden a search (boolean "or") use "/" between the search terms.
Example: "labour unions / professional organizations" will find records in which one of these terms occurs.
- To search for one term but not another use "!" between the search terms.
Example: "health services ! health service".
- To search on a date range use ":" between the search terms.
Example: "1950 : 1960" will find records with date information between and including the two years.
