Simple Search
Start typing in the search box at the top of the page. A drop-down menu will appear with some possible options relating to your search.

Advanced Search
Click on the search box at the top of the page and a drop-down menu will appear and give you the option to click on Advanced search.
The Advanced search gives you a number of filters to narrow your search, such as level of description and date range.
Browse

Click on one of the browse options and an alphabetical list will appear. The results can be sorted by ‘Date modified’, ‘Title’, ‘Relevance’, ‘Identifier’, ‘Reference code’, ‘Start date’ and ‘End date’. The bar on the left-hand side of the screen can be used to narrow your results.
Once you have found the record that you are looking for, you can browse the hierarchy by clicking on the + and – buttons next to each entry in the catalogue.
