Missed our webinar 'Primary source literacy in Europe: Empowering students and researchers with the practical tools they need'?

Recording date: Wednesday, May 18 | 14:00 BST

Catch up with Adam Matthew's Outreach team and guest speakers from European universities to explore how primary sources are integrated into teaching and learning and delve into some of the European archival content we've digitised.

We focused on specific case studies covering a diverse range of topics designed to provide you with actionable and engaging examples of how to support your students in approaching a variety of source types.

  • With Professor Giampiero Brunelli, UniversitĂ  di Roma, we explored the sixteenth-century spice trade and the rise of globalisation.
  • With Professor Jerzy Zdanowski, Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski Krakow University, we introduced you to diplomatic correspondence and how to evaluate them.
  • And with Dr Ainhoa Campos Posada, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, we looked at legal records as a source of history and use in researching the Civil Rights Movement.
