<p>
An 'item' is a document or object in an archive or museum.
To search for an item, users can enter the item's <i>shelfmark</i>, eg: 'DL10/87', or a <i>location</i>, eg: 'Westminster'.
The location is provided by the repository which holds the item, and may refer to where the item originates or where it was discovered.
On the item information page, users discover what seal impressions, matrices and casts are components of the item.

<h4>description <div class='icon_descr'></div></h4>
<p>
A 'description' is an entry in a seal catalogue. Users can search descriptions in three ways. Each description can be located by its <i>identifier</i>, eg: 'P38'.
Users can also search descriptions by entering a <i>name</i>, eg: 'Henry of Grosmont'.
Alternatively, users can search the text that the cataloguer has used to describe the seal's <i>motif</i>, eg: 'griffin'.
The description information page provides links to related descriptions and to the seal information page.
