We have started making changes to our Archives Search and Image Search to improve users’ online experience. This will enable you to get more reliable, timely, pertinent, consistent and accurate results.
The interface of Archives Search and Image Search will remain largely the same. You may, however, notice a few changes:
- Search results will remain the same though they may be ordered differently.
- The new Image Search will display results in a more user-friendly way.
- The new main Archives Search results page will provide an easier and a more efficient way to view digitized textual records, eliminating the need for extra searches and viewing via Image Search.
Is there information that you cannot find with the new Archives Search and Image Search? Have you come across any broken links? Help us improve the Archives Search and Image Search by submitting your comments, suggestions or ideas online.
