(re)Sourcing: A critical exploration of family archives

Friday, April 10, 2026

Why do scholars turn family sources into sources of study? How do autobiographical, autoethnographic, and familial sources turn into larger reflections of the past? What are the “roots” and “routes” of family histories? What are the challenges and opportunities of exploring larger questions of the past through research in family history?
