Decoding Records: Using the Law

Join Judy G. Russell and dive deeper into records—and learn how the law shapes our understanding of historical documents. Records usually exist because of the law. Their contents are often dictated by the law. And it’s the law that tells us if we can rely on any part of those contents as evidence.

I never write thank you notes after webinars or classes, (maybe I should). But I just had to write and tell you what an outstanding event the workshop was. I learned so much, and really enjoyed the hands on exercises.
