SEARCH THE UNIVERSITY ARCHIVES

Not all our online resources are located on the same platform, so searching across materials is not always easy (or possible).  

  • When searching, use AND, OR, NOT for Boolean searching. Use quotation marks to create phrases. 
    For example: "Rochester Review" AND Boody
