The search conditions are specified line by line, each with 3 parameters:
Contains the field to be searched in.
The second column contains the comparison operator.
The third column contains the value you are looking for or with which the field content should be compared.
With the plus key you can add another line with a search condition. The link is always made with a logical AND.
Are you looking for a person or an organisation? Then you should also search our database of key figures (not included in the advanced search).
We generally catalogue our holdings in the original language; searching in several languages might be useful.
To order files for consultation, add the desired dossiers to your basket by clicking on the plus icon. The basket icon will take you to the order page where you can enter your further details and send the order.
It may also be worth searching in Archives Online (this catalogue includes numerous archives in Switzerland) or in the European meta-catalogue Archives Portal Europe.
