Announcement:



Prince Albert Summer Workshop 2009

"Skills for Historical Research in Britain"



Date:  10. September 2009, 9.00-18.00
Venue: Coburg, Aemtergebaeude

There is growing interest among graduate students in the pursuit of 
advanced study of British
history and culture, yet the British archives which are central to much 
of this research can be
both confusing and intimidating for the new  researcher.  The Prince 
Albert Summer
Workshop will offer an interactive introduction to working in British 
archives.

Led by a British scholar, the workshop will focus on developing a range 
of research skills and
will offer an overview of the British archival 'landscape'.  It will 
introduce participants to the
key finding aids which will help successful navigation through the 
archives and equip them
with the skills to develop a research plan and list of primary sources.

The workshop will also comprise  a 'walkthrough' of a specific research 
project.  This will
allow participants to apply directly their research skills under the 
guidance of the programme
leader.  They will be able to work with  documents and practice their 
source handling and
palaeographic skills.  Furthermore, the workshop will emphasise the need 
to use source
material to understand the context in which documents were created and 
to help find further
sources.

The workshop should provide a solid preparation  for future research in 
British archives,
equipping participants with the knowledge,  skills and confidence to 
develop their own
projects.

The workshop is open to students and doctoral candidates who are 
planning projects which
will entail archival research in Britain.  However, there are only 
fifteen places available,
which will be allocated on a 'first come, first served' basis.

The workshop itself is subsidised and will be free.  Participants will 
have to meet
accommodation and travel costs themselves.

Applications should reach the Prince Albert Society 
(Prinz-Albert-Gesellschaft@uni-
bayreuth.de ) by email by 17 August 2009.  Please indicate:
- your area of interest (period and topic),
- your university, degree programme and semester of study.
