- You can enter one or more search terms.
- You can restrict your search to digitised material by ticking the checkbox beneath the entry field for the search terms.
- In the Signatur (reference code) field, you can search for current and old archive reference codes or fonds reference codes.
Current archive reference codes should be entered as follows:
[Department] [fonds number]-[sub-fonds, if applicable]/[archive number][supplementary archive number, if applicable]
Examples:
- B 30-ZA/321444
- RZ 201/20408A
- B 36-REF. IB4/122
It can be especially helpful to use "wildcards" here, for example:
- *321444
- R*/20408?
- B 36*/122
You can restrict your search to a certain time range by entering years in the corresponding field (Zeitraum).
- The search results will then contain all items whose term lies at least partially within the indicated range.
- Any archive material without a term will be considered according to the term of the fonds to which it belongs.
- You can also choose to enter a year in only one of the two fields. The years must not be in the future.
- The year “from” must be earlier than the year “to”. Negative numbers, letters and wildcards cannot be entered.
- You can only restrict a search to a certain time range if you have at least entered a search term, archive reference code or file reference, or if you have restricted your search to a certain fonds.
