The London Archives’ History Enquirers Workshop
Key Info
This session provides an excellent opportunity for students to practise and develop their history enquiry skills using a range of documents from The London Archives.
Students will examine a variety of document forms such as diaries, correspondence, reports, film and oral histories in order to evaluate how historians, like themselves, can make decisions about the value and importance of different documents. By covering such themes as the New Poor Law, prison, disability and immigrant histories, students will get a sense of how the way in which we choose to approach different documents, can inform the way we interpret and understand the past.
About The London Archives
Following an exciting redevelopment of their learning programme, The London Archives are thrilled to introduce their new range of engaging and in-depth learning sessions for primary and secondary school students.
Each session supports the history curriculum at KS1 to KS4 showcasing their unique collection of historical documents and providing structured and well-paced activities designed to develop history enquiry skills, build confidence working with primary sources and support learning back in the classroom.
Led by experienced history facilitators, their free two-hour sessions allow students to get inspired by London’s past!
A lunch space is available to use for 30 minutes after morning workshops. Schools coming for afternoon workshops are asked to eat before arriving.
