The Archives Database Clipboard feature allows you to compile a temporary list of records of interest that you can save and refer back to at a later date. The function can be used by clicking on the paperclip icon that appears to the right of search results and on the pages of whatever record you are viewing. Please note that the Archives Database is refreshed periodically with updated content, and this refresh will overwrite saved clipboard results.
