Description
In this workshop, we will explore the benefits of working with primary
sources for your research projects and where to find an array of
fascinating primary sources that you can access online. We will also
consider the issue of subjectivity in the creation and interpretation of
primary sources and begin to think about how to critically interpret the
sources you encounter.

This workshop includes:

  • Explain the benefits of using primary sources for a research
    project.

  • Identify where to find digital primary sources.

  • Recognise the inherent subjectivity of the source and the
    researcher.
