Learn Archival Research at the Wilson Center

The History and Public Policy Program of the Woodrow Wilson Center has issued a call for applications for its 2016 Summer Institute on Conducting Archival Research.
Applications are now being accepted for the 2016 Summer Institute on Conducting Archival Research.  the Summer Institute on Conducting Archival Research (SICAR) is a four-day seminar in which Ph.D. students receive training in conducting archival research from world-class faculty, researchers, archivists, and publishers. Although archival research is an integral part of many academic disciplines, it is virtually never taught at the graduate level. SICAR fills this critical gap in graduate education.

In 2016, SICAR is being jointly organized by the Wilson Center’s History and Public Policy Program and The George Washington University’s Cold War Group. The 2016 workshop will be held during the week of May 23-May 27 (exact schedule TBA).
