Archives and Digital Collections

The Internet Archive's tools let you search within the text of the entire SUNY Broome collection on the Archive. On the collection's home page, https://archive.org/details/sunybroomecc, there is a search box with settings for Metadata and Text contents. Use the Text contents setting to search within the text of all the documents in the collection. If you are looking up a name or phrase, it is usually helpful to enclose it in quotation marks. The search results page will show documents containing the search terms, along with a brief snippet of text for context. If you click on any of the documents, the documents page will have the search terms highlighted and identify the pages for the terms. The page view also has a zoom function, so you can enlarge a page for a better view of the article.
