Search engine notes:
The text of the descriptive information records, the full text transcriptions, and the themes in this site are presented using Latin 1 character encoding - this encoding includes diacritic marks commonly found in west European languages (that is, accent marks). The search engine is configured to process searches for Latin 1 characters without diacritics, so plain (unaccented) should be substituted for letters with diacritics. The stop words and stemming methods applied by the search engine are English language specific. (The American Memory digital library Search Tips offer more general information about searching for items using descriptive information records and full-text options with this kind of engine.)
