Archives for Historical Research

Are you planning to work in the historical professions? Are you planning to do research in an archive? Archival research skills are invaluable to a professional historian. Librarians from Firestone Library will be providing a systematic introduction to a variety of topics in archival research including:

├é┬À Identifying archives relevant to your area of research

├é┬À Understanding finding aids, shelf lists, and other tools used in archives and special collections

├é┬À Creating research plans to increase the efficiency of a visit to one or more archives or special collections
