Search help

The easiest way to search is to type a keyword in the free text search box. In the vast majority of cases, this will be fully sufficient to achieve the desired search result.

carl jacobsen - All places where both the terms Carl and Jacobsen appear
"Carl writes" - All places where the word order Carl writes occurs

There is no distinction between upper and lower case letters.

Combine or further limit the free text search with the checkboxes, period and/or drop-down menus.

All searches can be limited with period search or the field can be used alone. Dates are written: year-month-day separated by periods and without spaces or redundant zeros, for example: 1799-12-31 or 1805-5-1. You can also use just year-month or year alone, for example: 1824-10 or 1835.

You can also use the menu item Chronology on the left side. The timeline can be dragged until you find the desired year.
