Program
The ‘Sources for historical research’ module will start from the ways historical knowledge is built and from the concept of document, to illustrate, in relation to different historical periods as well as to different historiographic approaches, some types of sources and the challenges involved in their use. Sources for demographic, economic, social, gender, political, judicial, religious, intellectual and cultural history will be illustrated. Special attention will be paid to sources for oral history. The documentary value of images and objects will not be overlooked. As far as possible, we will also aim to invite experts to lectures and organise guided visits to libraries and archives.
