HIST 381 - Historical Research

2 credit(s)
Historical Research examines how one goes about ‘doing’ history, particularly in a digital age. This will be a kind of ‘how to’ for the mechanics of historical research and interpretation helping students to identify, locate, research, analyze and interpret historical source material, both secondary and primary, in part by understanding how libraries, archives, and online databases function and operate. Thus, students will develop information literacy related to researching primary and secondary materials by conducting basic historical research through the effective use of libraries, archives, and online databases.
