Mistakes happen to us all – even if we might be reluctant to admit it! Yet those exasperating errors also offer a powerful route to honing our skills as a family historian, if we have the courage to unpick how we made them in the first place. In this interactive workshop, we’ll confront our family history research errors, identify how and why they happen, and explore both private and public ways of writing about them.
Through a combination of group discussion, interactive questions and hands-on activities, we’ll turn mistakes from a source of frustration or embarrassment, into a practical opportunity to develop experience and confidence as family historians.
This event will not be recorded so you can feel comfortable taking part.
