Search Help

How does this work?
There are many ways to search the collections of the Freedom Archives. Below is a brief guide that will help you conduct effective searches. Note, anytime you search for anything in the Freedom Archives, the first results that appear will be our digitized items. Information for items that have yet to be scanned or yet to be digitized can still be viewed, but only by clicking on the show link that will display the hidden (non-digitized) items. If you are interested in accessing these non-digitized materials, please email info@freedomarchives.org.
Exploring the Collections without the Search Bar
Under the heading Browse By Collection, you’ll notice most of the Freedom Archives’ major collections. These collections have an image as well as a short description of what you’ll find in that collection. Click on that image to instantly explore that specific collection.
Basic Searching
You can always type what you’re looking for into the search bar. Certain searches may generate hundreds of results, so sometimes it will help to use quotation marks to help narrow down your results. For instance, searching for the phrase Black Liberation will generate all of our holdings that contain the words Black and Liberation, while searching for “Black Liberation” (in quotation marks) will only generate our records that have those two words next to each other.
Advanced Searching
The Freedom Archives search site also understands Boolean search logic. Click on this link for a brief tutorial on how to use Boolean search logic. Our search function also understands “fuzzy searches.” Fuzzy searches utilize the (*) and will find matches even when users misspell words or enter in only partial words for the search. For example, searching for liber* will produce results for liberation/liberate/liberates/etc.
Keyword Searches
You’ll notice that under the heading KEYWORDS, there are a number of words, phrases or names that describe content. Sometimes these are also called “tags.” Clicking on these words is essentially the same as conducting a basic search.

Independent Collections

Six Arab professional intellectuals describe how the Arab world has never discriminated against followers of Judaism. How the Western media falsely purports the conflict between European settlers and natives in Palestine to be an issue of race or religion. They discuss the history of Judaism in Europe and how it spread more through royal decree and not migration, disproving any European claim to Palestinian land. Examples of European Jews creating circles of racial isolation in Arab countries before the creation of Israel. Also discusses the dichotomy of Saudi Arabia and other Arab states while claiming to be against the United States and Israel but failing to take on an armed struggle or otherwise challenge their hegemony. Includes testaments of Israeli terrorism on Palestinian villages in 1948 and official Israeli radio broadcasts threatening Palestinians with brutality if they do not vacate their homes.
