Zmagania z archiwami w kontekście badań biograficznych
Year: 2016
Type: article
Abstract: An extremely important element of biographical studies is the choice of methods for collecting data, such as personal documents, letters, diaries, memoirs and notes (i.e., archival sources). The vast majority of sources are stored in the state archives, by the church, universities and various public and private institutions (e.g., ministries, workplaces, schools, hospitals, insurance companies), or in private collections. Students of pedagogy and of history conducting biographical studies encounter a variety of obstacles in their archival queries. The intention behind this article is to help them in their biographical investigations, identify obstacles and threats, and make them aware of the types of archival sources they may encounter. It is an instructional publication for students, PhD students and employees who are unfamiliar with archives.
