Advanced Search

Advanced Search can help you be more specific with your search. You can search for a word or phrase within a particular search category or use multiple categories to further narrow down your search results. For example, searching Portrait in the Title field will bring up any records with the word Portrait in the title of the artwork or document, without having to sift through & portrait as the wider category of photographs or paintings. To search for a specific phrase, such as a title, be sure to put the phrase within quotes (e.g. "Portrait of a Man"). You can also use the asterisk (*) as a wildcard (e.g. a search for pic* would come up with records containing picasso, picture, pictures, etc.). Searches are not case sensitive but are sensitive to symbols like accents and tildes. (e.g. Barthé or Magaña.) Spelling must be correct.
