Search and Discovery in Archives and Special Collections - in person with the viewing of physical item

Search and Discovery in Archives and Special Collections - in person with the viewing of physical item In-Person

This workshop for researchers includes the opportunity to view rare items from the University Archive & Special Collections. This morning session is for in-person attendance only (venue in Curzon to be confirmed nearer the time).

You can join us on Teams if you prefer, on the same day in the afternoon 3-4pm, registration via this link.

We will cover:

  • an overview of our collections
  • search approaches for items in our collections and wider national collections
  • access arrangements and developing digital possibilitie

The Special Collections Librarian, Nancy Jackson, will be glad to discuss how we might be able to support your research or assist you to incorporate viewings or digitised versions of collection items into your teaching.

Venue is on City Centre Campus - Curzon, Room tbc. The slides of the presentation and the collection menu will be share with online participants. However, the in-person visit to the venue (and even handling the rare material in some cases) would give you the opportunity observe and be inspired by the materials closely. We therefore strongly encourage you to book in-person if circumstances allow. If you cannot make it in person after booking, please cancel the in-person booking and register an online booking instead. Places are limited. Only 12 in-person bookings, due to space restriction. 

You can join us on Teams if you are unable to do it in-person, on the same day in the afternoon 3-4pm, registration via this link.
