Search the Archive

This is a trial search facility for those archive items that have been re-catalogued onto the Modes Compact database. To date only a portion of the archive has been re-catalogued and this process is ongoing. Data last updated 22 July 2024.

There are seven fields on which the search can be performed:

  • ArchiveID: the unique reference number of the item
  • Summary: a short description of the item – this is the best field to search on
  • PersonName: the primary individual  associated with the item (if there is one)
  • PlaceName: the primary place associated with the item (if there is one)
  • StartDate: if dates are available, the first/beginning date
  • EndDate: if dates are available for a period, the end date
  • ArchiveRef: where the item is in the archive (usually a box number)

The search is by free text only, case insensitive. Blank fields are omitted from the results.
