When you search, you will be able to request *ALL* instances of a particular keyword.

Search the Archives

There are several ways to search the archives:

(1) Go to the web archives . Select SEARCH the archives. Fill out the form.

(2) You may send email to LISTSERV@si-listserv.SI.EDU with the following command, where QQQ would be your keywords.
No subject is required.

Search QQQ from Jan 2003 to Dec 2003 in RCAAM
// EOJ
for example, if you were looking for "Appraisals", the command would look like: Search appraisals from Jan 2001 to Dec 2001 in RCAAM
// EOJ

Listserv will send you back the following in a piece of email:
... a short list of the matches,
... a few content lines from each of the postings (by item #)
... instructions on getting them (send email to listserv@si-listserv.si.edu with commands:

GETPOST RCAAM item# item# item#
// eoj

... and a summary of resource utilization.

If you get an error message about "invalid narrowing option", you may be asking for too many years at once.
The archives are quite hefty. So you might try one email with the following commands:

Search deaccession from Jan 2002 to Dec 2002 in RCAAM
Search deaccession from Jan 2003 to Dec 2003 in RCAAM
Search deaccession from Jan 2004 to Dec 2004 in RCAAM
