1 Session All Levels | Historical research can feel both too daunting to start, and too compelling to stop. How can writers find the right balance? We’ll discuss both the practical aspects of research, how to take advantage of the proliferation of online sources when one is not blessed with an infinite travel budget, and the more philosophical questions about when to stop and how much is too much.
