Research Methods Primary Sources
From Adam Matthew Digital, a company from whom we obtain a lot of our English online resources. Introduces key approaches to working with source materials and historical evidence. The Learning Tools part has sections on using primary sources, understanding and using various types of archives, guides to research (on visual materials, material culture, GIS, on working with databases and spreadsheets, on on studying individuals and marginal groups, on using oral histories, on landscape and place research, and on quantitative data). The Case Studies part offers case studies on different types of sources, topical themes such as food, and on data sets. The Practice Sources part includes over 300 historical items drawn from 50 archives around the world and allows you to put the lessons of the Learning Tools and Case Studies into practice.
