HIST 10.02 Archival Research and the Production of History

The target constituency of this summer-term course will be those students admitted to History’s London-based FSP who have framed an archive-based project (as most will do). Other students who wish to engage in a high-level exploration of archival-based historical knowledge are welcome to enroll; such students will pursue work for Unit Three of the class of their own choosing, in consultation with the instructor. The term consists of a three-part hybrid: an initial unit on the “epistemology of the archive” is followed by a unit on a select number of classic archival “finds.” The course concludes with practical workshop format, intended to enhance a student’s prospects for executing a project for 97.10 in London.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
