Interested in using archives for your research but unsure where relevant sources might be? Our new guide on 'Finding archives elsewhere' can help! The guide includes sections about different types of archive repositories, finding out where archives are held, locating documents on key themes, and finding online advice about using primary sources.

‘History Club’ is aimed at 16-18 year olds who are studying History (or English, Politics, or any subject really!) and want to learn more about how historical research is done, published, and used.

It is a collaboration between the Modern Record Centre and the Department of History. Every week, we’ll explore a new historical topic by looking at an academic journal article or primary source, and introduce students to the skill of academic reading.

On Friday the MRC ran a session on Archives and Research for Year 10 students taking part in the project Shooting the Past.

Shooting the Past is a collaborative project between UniTracks, and the Departments of History and Film & TV at the University of Warwick. The aim of the project is to create a short documentary on their hometown or area. Last week students taking part came to campus for a 2-day event, and were introduced to the basics of documentary style, film production and archival research.

The films will be screened at a special event in March.
