Advanced Search | An Iodhlann How to use the advanced search Every item in our archive is listed on our website. Use this search page to find what you are looking for. Use as many or as few of the categories below as you like. The more you use in one search the more refined your search will be, and the fewer results will be listed. However, the more refined your search is, the more likely that something relevant might be excluded from the search results. Alternatively, go to the ‘Search for word or phrase’ window, and type in the most appropriate word, phrase, date, number or name that you can think of to match your query, then watch our archive unfold… Here’s a tip for family research: If you are looking for photos of a MacKinnon, simply type Mackinnon in the “Search for a word or phrase” box, then in the box “Show only posts with attached…” select “image”. That will bring up every photo we have for MacKinnon. If you have any difficulties, contact us and our archivist will conduct a search for you: Leave a Reply Cancel reply Explore further
