​Adventures in Research:  Becoming a History Detective

Picture
Have you ever wondered about the historian’s craft or how someone solves mysteries from long ago?  This program answers these questions by blending actual tales of intriguing historical discovery with basic insights on conducting investigations.
   For anyone with a curiosity about the past, the program will be worthwhile as you learn about the nature of the discipline and accompany the presenter on a series of inquiries.  The speaker talks about how when presented with a historical puzzle, there are methods to work like a detective and find clues, which tell the story.

   Depending on the audiences’ interest a stronger emphasis may be placed on a cluster of fascinating investigations, which help develop an awareness and appreciation of the discipline that puts us in touch with the past.  Or it may put more weight on the how-to-approach by focusing on practical suggestions for researching your own mystery in your family, community or backyard.
