Workshop: Understanding Primary Resources In-Person

Come learn about introductory techniques for locating, accessing, and analyzing historical documents. Our goal in this workshop is to provide participants with a preliminary skill set useful in the discovery, access, and analysis of primary source documents. Objectives of this workshop are to:

Define and identify primary sources and “archival” material as well as a basic understanding of knowledge organization;
Discern the relationship between primary sources and secondary sources;
Recognize how archives can be a valuable resource for certain types of projects, and how archivists can be helpful research partners; and
Understand the basic methodology of conducting research with primary sources.

Additionally, students and participants will have the opportunity to work directly with primary source material from the Gottesman Libraries' Special Collections.

Presenter: Conrad Lochner, Special and Digital Collections Librarian
