- Search Tips

- The database searches by keyword. Use the box at the top of the page. Keywords can be grouped in phrases. Using quotation marks around your search phrases will yield improved results (Ex. “Lowell United Methodist Church”).
- Use a minus sign before a term you want to omit from your results. (e.g. 'bass -fish' finds bass guitars but not bass fishing.)
- Browse by collection title, subject, name, or classification.
