In this two-hour workshop we will explore digital collections of original documents. We will discuss the creation, selection, and preservation of archival records, and how you can read, ask questions of, and understand them in context. We will be exploring 19th and 20th Canadian and American history sources, though with advance notice the workshop can be modified to meet other particular interests. This workshop is for anyone interested in learning more about conducting archival research. (A larger screen, rather than a phone or tablet, is recommended if possible.)

By attending this workshop you will:

• understand how archival documents are preserved, digitized, and shared with the public;
• be able to locate digital archival collections relevant to your research;
• have practiced reading and discussing original documents

Zotero is a free and convenient tool that can be used to help you manage information for your research, insert citations into your writing and easily create bibliographies. This session will provide an overview of how Zotero can support your work throughout the research process, with hands-on opportunities to practice using the tool.

After attending this workshop, you will have learned how to use Zotero to:

• save time with the research process
• create better citations and bibliographies
• organize all the books / articles you find during the research process
• use advanced features in Zotero

This session will be held online via Zoom. A confirmation with a link to the session will be emailed to you after registration.
