Dr Avner Ofrath from the Department of History will share some insights about the various steps involved in archival research:

• defining the role of archives
• finding/locating relevant documents
• understanding different types of documents and contextualising their origins
• issues around analysis
• correct referencing
• ethical issues (e.g., data extraction from South to North)
• how to account for all the things that are not documented?

The participants will also reflect on their (past and future) uses of archives and historical documents.
