The system will accept parts of words so if you are not sure of all of the spelling choose the part that that you are sure of for example eg. HAYSMER, HAYSMOR, HAYSMORE could all be found with "haysm".
When you are searching the catalogue you have more scope with keywords but it is best to keep your phrase short. For example, if you wanted a historical picture of the Mace shop on the High Street, then “High Street”, “Crowhurst”, “Tompsett” would all work. “Crowhurst & Tompsett” might not find all the pictures, as some might be catalogued as “Crowhurst and Tompsett”. “Mace” would only find very modern pictures – after the shop became known as Mace. Try searching on only the surname rather than the full name if you are looking for a photograph or other archive material of a person. You might find it helpful to use one of the History Group’s “standard” keywords when searching the catalogue, which will catch at least 99% of items within each topic. They are: Agriculture, Buildings, Carnivals, Commerce, Communication, Education, Farming, Hopping, Impact, Leisure, Maps, Organisations, People, Photos, Pubs, Religion, Roads, Social order, Sport, Transport, War.
