Use Archon to Find Cushing Archival Material

1. Go to Archon: http://archon.library.tamu.edu/

​

2. Type your search in the search bar at the top right & click Search.

Note: Logging In is not required to search. (Only Cushing employees have accounts.)

Tips:

• Use basic search terms.
• If the word is spelled or punctuated differently than the term you are searching, it might not pop up in your search.
• To search Texas A&M University Archives’ clippings files on various subjects, check out these finding guides:
  • Texas A&M Building and Special Subject Files
  • Texas A&M Biography Files
  • Texas A&M Photograph Files

3. A page with Records and Manuscripts and the number of matches will appear in your browser window.

Click on Records and Manuscripts which will expand the results.

4. Click on the item you want to view.

Another page will open for the material. On the right-hand side of this page, there will usually be the words “Finding Aid.” Click on Finding Aid to show the entire finding aid.

While you are on the same window, use your internet browser to search the page by typing “Ctrl” [control] + “f” [the letter “f”].

This will open up a pane (usually on the top right of your browser window) where you can type in a search term. Once you begin typing, you should see the number of times the word appears on the page, and can click through the results (usually highlighted).  

5. Request material.
