Tips for Searching for Historical Images

• Boolean searching is allowed. Simply capitalize the AND, OR, or NOT.
• The search term must be an exact match (except for case) for the term in the title or the description of the image.
• Not enough search results? Try using * as a wildcard or to truncate.
• Try using variant spellings (such as Vice-President, VP, V-P, etc.)
• The titles of the images have a code which lets you know what collection it is from:

• Example search terms include: Venus, telescope, Galileo, Maury
• Still cannot find what you are looking for? Try browsing the collection instead of searching.
