Class Description:
The James Ford Bell Library Seminar in Comparative World History, ca. 1000 to 1800: An Introduction to Archival Research, provides students with an introduction to archival and rare materials research within the context of European travel and the expansion of commercial interests into the wider world in the medieval and early modern periods. The emphasis will be on preparing you for the research paper that is the major outcome of this class, while also providing experience with many of the aspects of an academic career, including writing book reviews and encyclopedia articles, intellectual discourse, art/artifact analysis, understanding early maps, and paleography and manuscript transcription with a module on the history of the book. In addition to submitting a final research paper, students will present their research in a public forum, a setting similar to presenting at an academic conference or symposium.
