In this one day workshop you will learn how to organise your historical research data. You will hear from experienced researchers about their work and learn from database specialists about designing and building your own database. We will discuss how to use a computerised database to record and interrogate historical and archaeological evidence. You will see how careful database design enables you to extract qualitative evaluation from your quantitative data.
