Working with Digital Primary Sources

This session looks at the difference between born-digital and digitized primary sources. Finding these materials takes practice and requires multiple strategies in a range of repositories, many of which are searchable online today.

Learn strategies for finding digital primary sources and be inspired to do further research in libraries and archives.

After this workshop, attendees will be able to:

• Identify the types of primary sources available in digital formats
• Establish strategies to locate digital primary sources using library resources
• Develop strategies to locate digital primary sources using the Internet
