Free training for doctoral history students

25-26 May 2010, The National Archives, Kew

The successful H&P-TNA workshop, "Using archival sources to inform contemporary policymaking," will be running on Tues 25 - Weds 26 May, at TNA in Kew. Thanks to AHRC-funding the course is free for history (or related) PhD students, including expenses where required, but places are limited.

This is an excellent course, with lots of practical tips on getting the most out of the resources at TNA and fascinating case studies from historians whose research is at the sharp-end of current policy issues, including David Edgerton, Sue Onslow, Michael Kandiah, Dennis Wheeler and Philip Withington. 

There will also be a session on influencing policymakers and the media with H&P External Relations Manager Mel Porter and David Turner of the Health Select Committee, and sessions with expert archivists from the TNA.
