1. Using Titanic as a
keyword in the Passenger and Ships database brought 6 results including
photographs. The description of the Olympic mentioned it being a sister ship of
the Titanic.
2. Using the phrase “The
Hindenburg”, eliminated many articles not related to the airship disaster.
The Stars and Stripes
newspaper had several articles concerning the crash. Two that caught my
attention were one about a survivor of the crash and another about the builder of
the Zeppelin airships.
3. For general
historical information about Minnehaha County I chose to search Books. I
clicked on Places and typed in “Minnehaha County”. The first two items in the
results were books specifically concerning the history of Minnehaha County. PERSI
can also be used to search for county information, however, this is an index
and not full-text articles. I chose “History” for the record type. The results
included more individual stories happening in the county and in Sioux Falls.

Thanks for the great post! Your search tactic of using double quotes around "the Hindenburg" was a great idea. It really narrows down the result set.
You found super info about Minnehaha County too!
Thanks,
Julie
