- Hi everyone! There are millions of records here at Queensland State Archives, but thankfully, searching them in Archive Search is really straightforward. So, let's take a look at how to do some basic searching in the catalog, so that you can find the records you're looking for. From the homepage, I'm just going to first check that I'm logged in. There are two main ways to do a basic search: you can simply type in what you're looking for or browse all items, series, agencies, functions, and mandates from the menu on the left. Let's try browsing items first. This is quite a lot of records, but on the right, we have the facets you can use to filter results. I'm looking for an item created before 1900 by the Lands Department, and I want a map. Just by using those facets, we've gone from millions of results to just a few thousand. You can also sort your results using the drop-down box over here. Let's head back to our main search screen by clicking on Archive Search. As you can see, we have the search box, and in some ways, you can limit the number of results you get. In this drop-down area, you can pick different types of searches. If you know an item ID, you can specifically search for that. If you're searching for an ID number, the system uses identifiers: A4 for agencies, S4 for series, and ITM for items. Today, we're going to do a simple keyword search. I'm going to type in "tourism," and you can press either the Enter key or the green Submit button. It's found over 3,000 results. Down the side, you can see, like in our previous search, that you can limit the results again. Over on the right, I'm going to select "Artwork." Now, this has brought it down to 22 results. You can also go back and modify your search. You might want to limit by date or by item. Let's pick "Item," then select one of the extra fields that's popped up: "Records with Digital Objects." So, we've modified the search in a different way this time. Again, you can use the facets at any time to reduce further. Being able to limit your results is going to make your searches so much easier. You can also save your searches, but we'll cover that in more detail in a later video. So, that's the basics of searching in Archive Search. In our next video, we'll look a bit more closely at items and how to view a digital copy.[1]all time · Qsa Archivessearch Request Digital Copy Workflow 3292
