This site uses the Opentext Livelink search engine to search and retrieve collections of documents encoded in SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) according to the TEI (Text Encoding Initiative) standard. Livelink returns results to the user’s web browser in HTML format.<\/p>\n
After submitting a search through our HTML form you will receive a summary list of documents which will give you the option of proceeding to the full text of any of them. You may navigate between the summary list and the individual documents using the navigation tools of your browser, or by opening multiple browser windows.<\/p>\n
Note: One limitation of our current interface is that your search terms will not be highlighted in the documents retrieved. Using the Find function of your browser may help you to skip to the location of a search term in the full text of a long document displayed in your browser window. While this strategy forces you to retype your search term and take account of accented characters (whereas you were not required to in your intitial search), it may sometimes be useful.<\/p>\n
French version\/version fran\u00e7aise<\/a><\/p>\n Choose a collection of documents to search by clicking one of the buttons at the top of the search form. Read more about the\u00a0chronology<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>and the\u00a0bibliography<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>. The specialized Person Search and Title Search are currently possible only in the Chronology. Textual searches (Simple or Advanced) may be performed on both collections.<\/p>\n After choosing a collection to search, enter a search term (word or exact phrase) into the text search box, then click the Search button. Replace accented characters with their unaccented equivalents. Case is not significant:\u00a0dreyfus<\/strong>\u00a0=\u00a0Dreyfus<\/strong><\/p>\n You may truncate words using the asterisk\u00a0*<\/strong>. When searching for words beginning with vowels, consider possible preceding articles or prepositions: a search for\u00a0avoir<\/strong>\u00a0will not find\u00a0d’avoir<\/strong>\u00a0,\u00a0l’avoir<\/strong>\u00a0, etc. You may search the entirety of each document (= Within\u00a0Entire document<\/strong>) or limit your search to one of the following categories. (For more options see\u00a0Advanced Searching<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>below.)<\/p>\nChoosing a collection to search<\/h2>\n

\nSample search:\u00a0cre*<\/strong>\u00a0Within\u00a0Names<\/strong>
\nThis search will find several documents containing references to Cr\u00e9mieux (Adolphe or Benjamin), but will exclude other common words beginning with cr\u00e9- or cre-. In most cases it will be preferable to use our\u00a0Person search<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>option, which provides more information about individuals mentioned in the documents.<\/li>\n
\nSample search:\u00a0lond*<\/strong>\u00a0Within\u00a0Bibliographic citations<\/strong>
\nThis search will find documents containing\u00a0Londres<\/em>\u00a0or\u00a0London<\/em>\u00a0within bibliographic citations, for example as a publication place or in a title. Bibliographic citations can be found in both the Bibliography and the Chronology.<\/li>\n
\nSample search:\u00a0dreyfus<\/strong>\u00a0Within\u00a0Authors<\/strong>
\nThis search will find several references to Robert Dreyfus as an author, but will exclude references to Alfred Dreyfus or the Affaire Dreyfus. Authors are also marked as names (see above), and are always found inside bibliographic citations.<\/li>\n
\nTitle of an article, eg.\u00a0Une rentr\u00e9e litt\u00e9raire<\/em>
\nTitle of a periodical or monograph, eg.\u00a0Le Figaro<\/em>, or\u00a0Souvenirs sur Marcel Proust<\/em>
\nSample search:\u00a0dreyfus<\/strong>\u00a0Within\u00a0Titles<\/strong>
\nIn the Chronology, this search will produce references to the works\u00a0Histoire de l’affaire Dreyfus<\/cite>,\u00a0R\u00e9pertoire de l’affaire Dreyfus<\/cite>, etc. Unlike authors, titles can be found both inside and outside of bibliographic citations.If you wish to search by title category or genre (prose, poetry, dance, theater, etc.) use the\u00a0Title Search<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
\nThere are a certain number of lines of verse, stanzas and complete poems cited in the documents. If you wish you may limit your search to text occurring within these.
\nSample search:\u00a0reve<\/strong>\u00a0Within\u00a0Verse lines<\/strong>
\nIn the Chronology, this search returns documents with verse lines containing\u00a0r\u00eave<\/em>, but not documents where\u00a0r\u00eave<\/em>\u00a0occurs elsewhere.<\/li>\n
\nThese are remarks by Archive personnel which have been added to the documents created by Philip Kolb. They should appear in your browser as bold or otherwise emphasized. Initials of the author are given at the end of each note.
\nSample search:\u00a0vg<\/strong>\u00a0Within\u00a0Notes<\/strong>
