The Fair is an excellent opportunity for Humanities postgraduate students and researchers to gain a wider perspective on the wealth and riches of research sources available for their field of study.
At the Fair you can learn about resources you may not yet have yet considered and meet the curators of collections who can guide you towards relevant material or useful finding tools. Meet over 100 experts at 40+ stalls:
- Special collections (archives & early printed books, maps, museums)
- Topical stalls (e.g. resources for English literature, Theology, History, Modern Languages, Biography)
- Geographical stalls (e.g. US studies, Latin American, Far & Near Eastern, European)
- General resources (e.g. Information skills, Open Access, Top 10 Tips from a Graduate)
- Take part in live historical printing at the Centre for the Study of the Book
- Relax with a cup of tea at the Student Wellbeing stall and try your hand at fiendish Bodleian jigsaw puzzle
The format of the Fair encourages you to explore and discover new materials at your own pace, to be curious, to network and to make connections to experts and their peers while also learning about creative use of sources in Digital Humanities. Discover the wealth and riches of research and library resources available in Oxford. Meet the experts and network with your peers.
The event will be accompanied by a series of brief talks relating to Open Access, Digital Humanities, Data mining, Text Encoding, sourcing images, interdisciplinary research in the Humanities and Top Tips from a Survivor. Further details are available at Humanities Research Fair (LibGuide).
The event is kindly sponsored by Gale Cengage (gold sponsor), Adam Matthew Digital (silver sponsor) and ProQuest (bronze sponsor).
