HIST 10.02 Archival Research and the Production of History

The target constituency of this summer-term course are those students admitted to the history department's London-based fall-term foreign study program who are engaged in framing archive-based research projects. The course is a mix of theory and practice. It thus combines instruction in the theory and methods of history with a hands-on practicum revolving around each student’s anticipated research project. Some classes are held in Dartmouth's Rauner Special Collections Library. The course concludes in a workshop format intended to enhance students’ prospects for executing successful projects in the London-based fall course, HIST 96.34. Students engaged in developing an archive-based historical project for something other than the London FSP who wish to take the course should contact the instructor for permission to enroll.
