Primary Sources: Behind the Document - Summer 2008

by Kathleen McCoy  |   

Learn how to determine why a primary source was created, to consider the importance of point of view in interpreting a source and examine ways primary sources can be used to sway opinions.

This workshop will be held on Saturday, May 31 from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. at the Consortium Library, room 309. It is intended for instructors working in a variety of curriculum fields who can use primary source documentation to enhance their teaching. The workshop is based on the Library of Congress's holdings and includes information on how to search and use their online resources.

The instructor is Danna Bell-Russel, a librarian, archivist and one of the Library of Congress's Educational Outreach Specialists.
