HIST 348 - Historical Clues, Alternative Archives


Semester Offered: Second Semester
Full Course
Credits: 4 credits
Attribute: 4SS, CD

What are the various ways to identify and engage with primary sources and archives? In this historical methods course, we practice locating existing archives both within and outside of Oberlin, and we will also take steps to begin assembling new archives that address understudied topics. Our readings are drawn from the fields of History, American Studies, Anthropology, Performance Studies, and Literature. Course participants will use the theoretical and practical insights discussed to complete a series of interrelated research assignments throughout the semester that will culminate in an original piece of historical writing.
Enrollment Limit: 12
