Drawing from your Historiographical Research Paper, create a
presentation
(using PowerPoint) examining an archival institution that
coincides with the topic of your
Historiographical Research Paper. My topic was A Comparison of Irish Immigrant Men and Women to the United States in The 1800s. I will attach my paper should you need it.
Go to the website of an institution you select related to the topic of your Historiographical
Research Paper and identify what collections
could be used, what sort of sources/evidence
they found in those collections
(e.g. government documents, ephemera, film,
correspondence, etc.), and how they
used that evidence to (successfully or unsuccessfully)
support their
argument.
Identify any other collections at that institution that
might be useful for scholars interested in creating new research projects
related to the topic that you selected for your
Historiographical Research
Paper.
Finally, are any relevant collections digitized? Are there
digital finding aids, and, if so, how
would you use them to prepare for a
research trip to this institution? If not, how could those
resources assist you
in your research of this topic?
Be prepared to present your findings in a 12-15 slide
PowerPoint Presentation.
While Turabian style is not required for the body of this
assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources
should be presented using Turabian formatting
guidelines.
