How to Search for an Article
Enter as many details as possible. Leave empty fields for which you have no information.
Enter dates as follows: mm/dd/yyyy. For example, enter September 17, 1862 as 09/17/1862. You can search by day, by month, by year, or any combination of the three.
If uncertain about the correct spelling of a County or City/Town, enter the portion of the word for which you do have correct spelling. For example, enter “Gettys” if you are uncertain if the correct spelling is Gettysburg or Gettysberg.
Note that the Keyword Search will search for a word, not a phrase. The results will appear in order of the most relevant first.
