One Day Research Workshop \u2013 Thursday 22 October, 10 am \u2013 4 pm<\/strong><\/p>\n

Have you ever wondered about the background history of Rouken Glen? \u00a0Have you ever seen an old photograph of the park and wondered where it might be or if any buildings or structures still survive?<\/p>\n

This short session will introduce key themes of how to research Rouken Glen \u2013 putting old photographs and oral histories into context, by studying old maps, aerial photographs and looking at the National Monument Record. \u00a0We will help you develop research skills, ask analytical questions of historical sources and how to collate and present your results. \u00a0We will also help you think about where you might like to go next with your research.<\/p>\n

Delivered by Archaeology Scotland, this workshop will help you learn more about the park and show you what to do with the information you have uncovered. \u00a0We will provide all the equipment – you just need to turn up!\u00a0 Booking required.<\/p>\n
