Information on searching
|
Use the full text search to find a word or an expression irrespective of which field it occurs in.
Use the full text search first to check whether your search returns a result.
|
|
|
Use the field search to find a word or an expression in a selected database field such as title or reference code.
Use the field search if you want to search selectively and know the meaning or use of the individual fields.
|

The archive plan search enables you to navigate in the hierarchical tree structure of the archive, from the higher-level fonds to the individual document provided that it has been captured. Many documents are only comprehensible from their classification in the archive plan.
Use the archive plan search to get an overview of the various fonds or to selectively access known fonds.
|
|
|
Search by index terms and find the related archive items. This enables you to search for particular person terms, place terms and subject terms if they have been assigned by the archive. If the descriptor to be found does not exist, this does not mean that there are no associated archive items.
Use the descriptor search to selectively search for person, place or subject terms entered in the archive.

In case your search request returns too many results, try to restrict your search.
This can be done, for example, by using the more specific field search or by restricting
the results within a specific date range. If your search request does not return
any results at all, the information you are looking for may simply have not yet
been electronically indexed. Take your time to learn about the different type of
searches to choose the most applicable ones to your needs. Keep in mind that a single
search type may not deliver all the results you are looking for. To get the best
results use combinations different search types.
