University ArchivesThe webpages for Special Collections and University Archives are the best place to start searches for the most popular Named Collections.
The primary purpose of this webpage is to provide ready access to commands used in less common searches.
Command language searching allows a user to formulate a complex search query
by using search codes and Boolean operators.
To display the Command search form, select Advanced Search and scroll down to the bottom.
The technique for searching the library's online catalog to identify materials that are part of a named collection varies by collection. Those collections that are treated as series in the catalog are prefaced below with an asterisk * and can be searched by the title of the collection. Some materials are housed in Special Collections or University Archives, but many items are shelved in the library's general collection. This list generally does not include named collections for which there is a single bibliographic record in the catalog (e.g. manuscript collections in Special Collections). Instead it focuses on those collections with dozens, hundreds or even thousands of separately titled items. Sometimes the items within a collection are separated by specific subject matter and not shelved together.
Some of the collections have items in both the library's general collection and in Special Collections (e.g., Donnelly, Finney, Hartman, Mickler, West Indies). To separately identify those items by location, add the following commands to the search:
| Location | Command |
|---|---|
| limit to items in Special Collections | AND+wsc=cfmsc |
| exclude items in Special Collections | NOT+wsc=cfmsc |
| Example: wti="west+indies+collection"+NOT+wsc=cfmsc | |
| NOTE: Using the command to exclude items in Special Collections will also exclude all records for items which have copies in Special Collections AND in the General Collection. Instead of excluding Special Collections, try limiting to the General Collection, which will still display items with additional copies elsewhere, e.g., | |
| wti="west+indies+collection"+AND+wsc="cfmgc+gc" | |
