OSU archivists, curators, and librarians will offer graduate students from all disciplines a hands-on introduction to archives and archival research methods. Topics covered will include finding and accessing archives and special collections, analyzing archival sources, and formulating research questions and projects using archival materials. No prior experience using special collections or archives is necessary.

This event is being offered in person only due to the nature of the materials and activities being discussed. Please note that this event will take place in Thompson Library, room 150.

Demystifying Research: Practices and Strategies for Graduate Students 

Does the research process seem mysterious or overwhelming? We are here to help! There are a number of upcoming workshops that provide an overview of research concepts, such as organizing your notes, creating a citation tracking system, breaking down the process of planning a research project, figuring out how to prioritize the many unfinished tasks, tips for negotiating your first research article publication rights, among others. Sign up for one or sign up for several.
