Do you want to find more primary sources? Are you curious about archives? Would you like help reading old papers?
Research Days can help!
Research and Library Days are held throughout the state at Historical Societies, Museums, and Libraries. Depending on the session, they’ll cover topic selection, research process, and help you find specific sources. Many of the host sites are also good places to look for topics or inspiration early on in the process.
