Ready to uncover the stories of your community? Join the Local History Academy for an introductory webinar designed to build your confidence in historical research. This session provides a practical, five-step framework for the historical method: framing your topic, asking focused research questions, gathering primary and secondary evidence, building an argument, and developing a meaningful thesis. You will learn to use effective tools, like resource lists and timelines, to organize your findings and ensure your research is reliable. Whether you are a beginner or looking to sharpen your skills, you will leave with a straightforward roadmap to launch your own local history project.

Note: This is the second webinar of three in this series. Attendance for all is encouraged but not required. All skill levels are welcome.
