Historical document research depends on organizing large amounts of handwritten records, archived files, and disconnected information.
How do historians and researchers actually work through decades of documents to find what matters?
In this episode of The AiCR Exchange, Joe Furlong sits down with Dr. Jonathan DeCoster, Kathleen Miller, and Miles Gabrielli-Burke from the University of New England to talk about historical document research, community-based learning, and the challenges of working through archived materials.
