10 Summary

In this session of the course, you’ve learned how to construct more efficient searches for secondary literature and how to evaluate the usefulness of those sources.

You’ve also explored different ways of locating and analysing primary sources and have asked critical questions of the structure of primary source databases.

We hope that these techniques will enable you to expand your own knowledge and to equip your students with new and transferable skills that they can employ across the history curriculum and beyond.
