I facilitated a workshop for postgraduate students focusing on guiding students through the archival maze and looking at how to face the different challenges and obstacles of archival research. This workshop was suitable for those searching government records, church records, museum collections, private papers and others.

By the end of the workshop participants looked at:

• Identifying the relevant collections and what to do when it appears you have explored all avenues

• Researching controversial topics

• Classified and declassified government files – how to fill in the gaps

• How to trace ‘missing’ documents

• The value of photographs, newspapers, tombstones and other sources
