This updated edition brings students the sources, techniques and concepts needed for effective historical research in both the physical and digital archives. Each chapter introduces a different research method. These range from the established, such as archival research, to the less widely known, such as GIS (Geographical Information Systems), and recent trends, such as textual analysis and material culture studies.
