About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour

Our research workshops help you to get started or discover additional materials useful for your own research. All of the sessions are led by a knowledgeable and experienced tutor who will take you through each source focusing on their uses for research and how to access them. You are welcome to ask questions are the end of the session and a full workbook alongside a practical activity to try at home will also be provided.

We will look at how to trace the history of the fabric of your building using historical and modern maps before using census returns and trade directories to find out about the previous owners and occupiers of your property.
