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.

If you require further details about any item(s) please contact us including details of the ArchiveID and ArchiveRef value(s) in your message.
