The Sources selection menu allows you to search the two primary Object types, Antique Monument and Postclassical Work, either singly or in combination. The menu can be opened by accessing Choose a Data Set to the left of the search bar. By clicking on the arrow, a drop-down menu appears with the list of the two primary Object types. These can be activated or deactivated by clicking on the respective boxes:

IMPORTANT: Below the object types, the Census pool is displayed. This pool contains all records of the Census database. If it is not activated, it is not possible to search the Census database.
