Introduction to archival research

Onsite workshop

On Fridays, we offer onsite instructional workshops for groups who want to work with the collections of the IISH.

During these workshops, you will be given an introduction to the history and mission of the institute. We explain how our collection is formed and made accessible, and how to use our catalogue. We also show you the best ways to request and handle materials. With these workshops we aim to deepen your understanding of evidence and primary sources, and to help you develop research skills.

Points of attention:

• Sign up for a workshop four weeks in advance, via ask@iisg.nl.
• The duration of the workshops is 2.5 hours maximum.
• We accommodate group sizes of min. 5 and max. 20 persons, including a supervisor.
• If you want to see or use specific documents for this workshop, the documents should be requested at least one week in advance.

Online workshop

We are developing free online workshops so that, in the future, we can come to you virtually. If you are interested in taking part, please contact the Public Services staff at ask@iisg.nl.
