Search Tips
  • 1. Event names may have been coined after the event took place, e.g. World War I was known as the Great War. Try to search using words that describe the event or that may have been used in reports.
  • 2. To find an exact phrase place quotation marks around your search terms, e.g. "George Bernard Shaw".
  • 3. The archive will automatically return articles that include all of the search terms.
  • 4. The search results are automatically sorted by the oldest articles first and can also be sorted by the newest articles, or by the articles that closest match the search terms.
  • 5. Historically there was a tendency to describe people more formally, e.g. Mr. Yeats instead of William Butler Yeats. Initially, try to search by surname only and then refine the results.
