Welcome! Archival materials give you direct access to the time or event you are studying. Using archival materials can
help you:
- better understand your topic;
- apply your knowledge and experience
in a specific area;
- develop your own ideas;
- gain a sense of "reality" about your
project.
Finding relevant archival
materials is a new process for many researchers. The goal of this guide is to help you
conduct research at UBC Rare Books and Special Collections. We will go through the research process
from choosing your topic and getting started, to arranging your visit.
If this is your first time
searching for archival materials, you may follow the guide as organized. Or, feel free to go directly to the relevant
section. Good luck! |
