Map of Wales (MR1/1111)
Map of Wales (MR1/1111)

This session has been specifically designed for Welsh schools.

This videoconference follows the same format as the What is History videoconference, encouraging students to use original documents for historical research. The Welsh census material will be used to discover to what extent a successful quarry town in the nineteenth century has changed over time. Photographs and maps from our collection will also be shown during the videoconference, as the Education Officer guides students through the process of formulating the initial enquiry question, to using and evaluating the sources.
