Sunday 19 November 2017|10am-1.30pm Tutor: Nicola Waddington | Canterbury campus | £27 This course aims to introduce people to archive sources for local history research and give them some understanding of what is available, how to use the sources and where to find them. It covers (in varying degrees of detail): O/S maps, Tithe maps, Finance Act maps, National Farm Survey, estate records, deeds, sale catalogues, Electoral Roll, Census, Parish Records, Poor Law assessments and disbursements, will inventories, photographs and printed sources. Illustrations of different sources are provided in a power point and certain sources are looked at in more depth, through examples worked out in class. The final exercise looks at a copy indenture and participants have the chance to read it through for themselves and to answer questions. If participants have questions relating to research they are already undertaking they are encouraged to raise these at appropriate points through the class.
