"It is possible to search this database for "colonial" entries just using the "keyword" field. No personal name is required. So, for example, it is possible to find all the notices that refer to India, Pakistan etc., to a specific place, such as Simla, Murree, etc. Many other countries are also covered, some (for example Uganda) where it is virtually impossible to find information by any other means".
