Unlocking the multidisciplinary value of primary sources
1 July | 8am | 10am CT | 11am ET | 4pm BST
Primary sources aren’t just historical documents; they’re dynamic, multidisciplinary tools that connect subjects, spark inquiry, and transform how students engage with complex global themes.
From epidemics to propaganda to performance, Madeleine Stevens will show how three of AM's 2025 publications can open up surprising research pathways, proving that even subject-specific resources can lead to discoveries across a range of disciplines.
This session will explore:
- How essential digital collections can support innovative, cross-departmental teaching and research across disciplines
- Building career-ready skills such as analysis, leadership and independent thinking through primary sources
- How to leverage digital archives in ways that engage a diverse range of subject areas, from history and public health to film studies, cultural studies, and beyond
- How different primary source materials, such as audiovisual content, manuscripts, photographs, and periodicals, deepen student engagement across multiple disciplines
Join us to discover how primary sources can bridge disciplines, deepen learning, and inspire new ways of thinking throughout your library.
