Coming up this week...


WISER: Online resources for Historians

Monday 15 June, 12.30-1.30, OUCS
This session will give an overview of the range of electronic resources which are available for all historical periods. They are typically bibliographical databases, collections of primary source materials, electronic alternatives to journals and/or books or research aids for
biographical or reference research. The use of full-text searchable text opens up new avenues of research for historians.
