Roundtable - "Court Studies & the Archives"

Featuring Sean Cunningham (UK National Archives), Filippo de Vivo (University of Oxford) & Others

Abstract:

Through a roundtable discussion format, the seminar will focus on the theme/topic of ‘archives and court studies’, which we hope to become an annual staple of the series. The roundtable will provide an opportunity for participants to share their experience of archives in the pursuit of court studies, as well as an opportunity for archival professionals to introduce the inner workings and organization of collections with the archives they represent, including highlighting material pertaining to specific courts. The aim of the roundtable is threefold: 1) to initiate a dialogue between academic scholars and archival professionals about the relationship between archives and field of court studies as a means of assessing past, present, and future research development; 2) to highlight the collections of specific public and private archives; and 3) to foster knowledge and research exchange between archives and scholars of court studies to support the development of doctoral, postdoctoral, and early career scholars.
