Join curator Keith Fitzpatrick-Matthews for a practical introduction to researching local history. Suitable for beginners and those looking to improve, the course explores how local history differs from related subjects and how to shape your own research.
You’ll learn how to find and interpret sources, assess reliability and bias, and tackle common challenges. The day also includes guidance on organising your materials and turning your findings into clear insights, with hands-on activities and time for questions throughout.
