Search guide

To search the browser, type a keyword into the search box. The results will show items that include or relate to that word ,whilst allowing for minor fluctuations in spelling and incorporating both accented and non-accented words.

Keywords can include names (for example, Iby Knill or Walter Rabl), places (such as Łódź or Durrës), and subjects (like child refugee, festival or rules). You can also filter by dates, or search by type of item (such as photo or postcard), or by language of the material (for example, German, Polish or Yiddish).

As we continue to catalogue and digitise our collection, more searchable keywords will be added to the browser.
