When you do a keyword search of our inventories, you will see a list of results -- pertinent lines taken out of their context. You can see them in context by choosing the link at the left side of each line.
If you want to do another search, you can put key words in the text-entry box near the top and press Enter. If you want to return to our home page, you can click on the words "Notre Dame Archives" at the top.
Sometimes, if a line refers to an image that is available online, you will see that the second code in the line is highlighted. Click on this second code to see the image. For example, if you search for "Mules" you will find, among other entries, this one:
GBBY 57G/200 Image(s) : Football Team Photo - Starting Team in Formation; Seven Mules and Four Horsemen - in Formation 1924
If you click on "GBBY" you can see this line in context; if you click on "57G/200" you can see the image itself.
A Notre Dame Archives inventory generally does NOT provide links to images of the documents it describes. It resembles a library's catalog in which one expects to find bibliographical descriptions but not the whole text of the books described.
If you see something in an inventory that interests you, you can order photocopies using our form -- but to do so, you will need to ask us to count pages. If you have email, you can send us a message (Archives.1@nd.edu) and tell us the collection code, unit number, and description. Generally you can do this most easily by marking the text that interests you, copying it to your clipboard, and pasting it into your email message.
