Our work allows students to connect with the work of our archivists at the Modern Records Centre.
In 2021, a group of postgraduate History students took a tour of the Modern Records Centre with the guidance from the Academic Support Librarian for History. The visit allowed the students to explore the capacity for the centre to support their research. The session highlighted the skills required for engagement with historical primary sources - including palaeography, the study of ancient writing systems and the deciphering and dating of historical manuscripts.
