Understanding Archival Records
Archives preserve many different types of records, such as files, charters, maps, plans, photographs, and administrative registers. Understanding how these records are structured, what information they typically contain, and how they were created can greatly assist both in locating relevant sources and in interpreting their contents. For this reason, an introduction to archival records and their characteristics can be a useful starting point for your research.
