Tips on Searching

You have several search choices; all of them require you to type in words or names describing the item you want to find.

Note:

• Separate multiple words with a comma. The search finds all items containing any of the words you type.
• Place a phrase, such as "spar tree," within quotation marks.
• If you are unsure how to spell something or you want all of the variants of a word, enter the first few letters and then an asterisk (*). All names or words that begin with those letters are displayed in the results. For example, to find all records asosciated with mines, mining, or miners, type mine*.
  
  

• Interested in mining? Try: mine, concentrator, gold, silver, "Monte Cristo", quarry, or adit.
• Interested in fashion or recreation? Try: costume, dress, hat, picnic, or hunting.
• Interested in railroads? Try: locomotive, depot, or railroad. If you know a railway's name such as "Hartford Eastern", or "Everett Monte Cristo", enter the name.
• If locomotives are your interest, you can find them by name, too, such as Shay, Climax, or Heisler.
• To locate a person, enter either the full name or last name. For example, to find pictures of Dr. Frank Chappell, enter Chappell or Frank Chappell. You need not use capital letters. If you misspell the name, you are given a list of possible matching items and can select the one you think best matches what you are searching for.
