Want to better your chances at winning up to $2500? Learn how you can improve your submission to the Libraries’ second annual Undergraduate Archival Research Project Prize, a prize awarded to the best scholarly work that uses primary sources and presents a significant and well-researched analysis on a historical topic. Projects will be judged on their clarity of focus, originality of argument and historical analysis, relevancy and comprehension of applied primary sources, and contribution to their related field of study.

Part 2 of this workshop builds on your thesis and dives deeper into interpreting primary sources and applying your analysis to support your thesis. Bring your thesis statement for practice (optional)!

Note that participation in this workshop will earn you an extra point toward your submission!

This workshop is hybrid (in person at University Libraries and online over Zoom) and geared toward Northwestern students. A Northwestern Zoom account is required to access the online session. Please register to receive location and connection information.
