HISL 2911: The Cuban Revolution: History, Course & Legacies

In today's workshop, you will:

• Lay the groundwork for the research and analytical skills you will need for your group research projects at the end of the semester
• Practice critically analyzing primary sources for the history of Cuba 
• Practice searching for quality academic secondary sources to better interpret and contextualize your original analyses of primary sources

NOTE: You don't have to use the primary sources we are working with today--or special collections from The Latin American Library--in your group projects. We are using them as a vehicle to practice historical methods, although we'll be delighted if you make use of our resources!

• No drinks, food, pens, or bags allowed near materials
• Keep the documents in the folders and order you found them so other researchers can find them as well!
• Treat the materials with care to keep them well preserved 

We will be working in a Google Doc today so that:

• the professor and librarian and can see your work and give feedback
• you will all have access to the work you did after today's class
