Archival Research Lecture Series
What is it like to do historical research in an archives? How do researchers use scrapbooks, letters, newspaper clippings, oral history interviews, and other materials to construct a historical narrative? What are the benefits of using these physical fragments to understand the past? Every year the Archival Research Lecture features a scholar whose research in Wheaton Archives & Special Collections answers some of these questions.
Join us every autumn for the Archival Research Lecture, and learn how scholars use archival sources to understand the past.
