Do you have an interest in finding out more about the past, such as the history of your family, a building you like, or a local club or sports team? Not sure how to get started?

In this 5.30pm-9.30pm workshop, Dr Ben Wilcock (University of Manchester) will introduce you to the basics of historical research, from planning and design to research skills, and how to organise and share your research.

You do not need any special knowledge or experience – just a general interest in history and the desire to research an area of history and heritage that is of interest to you.

The workshop is part of Manchester Histories’ Hidden Histories, Hidden Historians project supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund. Booking link here.
