Event details
Join us for an exciting opportunity to conduct real-time, interactive research in The Mount School’s picturesque Library or online.
Attendees will be able to choose from a Census record for The Mount School York or information about World War 1 VAD Nurses as their research starting point.
You will have access to online resources and helpers from the 'A Few Forgotten Women' project, and you will be able to reflect on your process and share your findings with the other participants.
There will be a 30-min break at 12.30.
This is a hybrid event that you can either attend in person or online. You will be asked to choose how you will attend this workshop when you register via the online form.
