You can view the archives without a Google Account. If you wish to SEARCH the archives, you will need a Google account. Sign-in to your Google account to use the GOOGLE SEARCH FEATURE inside the folder.
Searching in a Google Doc or a PDF: After opening the document, press CMD/CTRL-F and enter the word you are searching for. It will highlight each search term.
To narrow your search for exact terms, enclose them in quotes: e.g. “colley wright brook”.
If you do a broad search (without quotes) it will return every result that contains ONE or ALL search words. Google does a pretty good job of reading photos that have words in them (including newspaper clipping photos). HOWEVER, it will not highlight the word if you use CMD/CTRL-F. You have to examine the newspaper clipping or photo to find the result!
