Digging into primary sources
(NEW TIME, NEW VENUE) 26 March, Tuesday, 4:00pm-5:00pm (Venue: CPD4.16)
Why do historians place such importance on primary sources? How might we look for relevant materials? How best are we to approach these documents? In this session, we will explore the uses and limitations of primary sources. We will also locate and analyze some archival materials together!

Struggling with a written assignment for a History course? This session will offer an opportunity for students to pose questions and discuss their ideas for ongoing research projects and essays and receive feedback.
