Students receive practical training in the use of a range of digital and analogue research tools and materials, gaining skills in the use of archival and published material to support hands-on research practice. Guest lecturers provide insights into the prosecution of a current research project, describing the challenges they are meeting and the discoveries they are making as they work towards increasing knowledge in a particular area.
