Finding Aids for Special Collections

  • Setting the search limits to "Jordan Special Collections" location will narrow a search effectively in some cases.
    Note: This limit can only be used in combination with "Title" or "Keyword" searches.
  • Sorting search results by Publication Date will bring the oldest materials to the top.
