SEARCH TIPS

Type a word, phrase, or search expression in one or more of the search boxes. Letter case is not important.

Example: Typing “bull riding” retrieves that phrase exactly wherever it is used. Typing “riding” retrieves more results including all references to any type of riding.

To do a wildcard search shorten the word with a "*" at the end of a string of letters. Example: " elect*" will find elect, elected, election, electoral, etc.

AND: To narrow a search, use "&" between the search terms. Example: " Flood & 1995 " will find records in which both terms occur, filtering out flood stories of other years.

OR : To broaden a search, use "/" to stand for “or” between the search terms. Example: Entering "agriculture / farm / ranch / wheat / cattle / alfalfa " will find records in which any one of these terms occurs and return a good sampling agriculture related records.

NOT : To search for one term but not another use "!" between the search terms. Example:" Parade ! stampede " will find the records which reference parades but filters out instances of Stampede parade.
