Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
The Bodleian’s Weston Library has a wealth of resources covering almost all aspects of modern British society and culture. This session will introduce key finding aids, identify relevant material in Oxford and elsewhere, look at types of archives and modern papers, cover some considerations when working with archival material and get you started with the research skills needed to make the most of these resources. You will have an opportunity in the session to handle some actual examples.
Intended Audience: Students, researchers and other Bodleian Libraries’ readers considering using modern papers and archives in social science or historical research.
