Search
There are two search options for The Location Register.
The first is the basic search box on the Search page. Enter keywords here. Using double quotation marks can make the search more accurate, e.g. “Michael Holroyd” and “biography”.
Use the drop-down menu marked “All Fields” next to the search box to limit your search to title, author or repository.
The second search option is Advanced Search and allows you to exclude terms.
If you need help using Advanced Search take a look at our guide on the University of Reading Library website.
Your searches will give you a list of results. Click on the individual results and you will be presented with more detailed information about the archive material and repository. We can only give on-site access to archival material which is part of the University of Reading Special Collections.
