Welcome to the Andornot Archives Starter Kit (AASK) demo site.

This site illustrates the web-interface provided with the purchase of the Andornot Archives Starter Kit.   It requires an installed license of  Inmagic WebPublisher PRO.  This kit is sold as is, but to assist with integration into your website, Andornot will substitute your logo; image; introductory text; canned searches; search tips examples; and navigation links to match those of your own site. Many other customization options or enhancements are available.

The sample database contains over 400 descriptive records (provided by the City of Richmond Archives) which represent a range of material typically found in archives.   Search results are sorted by relevance and each provides a link to the fond level description and optionally to the complete finding aid.   Canned searches can be used to generate finding aids dynamically from the database, or for lists of popular topics.

Search Tips

Within search boxes:

  • Search terms are automatically joined by AND
    (e.g. fishing boat finds fishing AND boat)
  • Use / for OR
    (e.g. halibut / salmon)
  • Use ! for NOT
    (e.g. halibut ! salmon)
  • Use " " to search for a phrase
    (e.g. "gillnet boats")
  • Truncation is automatic
    (e.g. fish finds fish, fishes, fishing, etc.)

Special characters:

  • Use >, <, >=, <= for greater or less than
    (e.g. >= 1999 finds dates from 1999 onwards)
  • Use : to search a range
    (e.g. 1999:2003, example:sample)
  • Use the proximity operators w (within) and p (preceding) to find words near each other
    (e.g. gillnet p3 dock finds records with 'gillnet' up to 3 words before 'dock')
    (e.g. boat w5 dock finds records with these words within 5 words of each other)
