Whether for research or for fun, reading historical newspapers gives us a fascinating view of the past. This hands-on workshop will show you how to find and use newspapers (online and otherwise) going back as far as the 17th century. Focus will be on U.S. papers, though international papers will also be covered.
So you’ve got the basic PowerPoint presentation down pat. Are you ready to go beyond static bullet points? Interested in adding animations and transitions? Want to go behind the scenes and customize the default slide designs — or build your own? Do you crave sound and video? We’ll cover these topics (and more) in a hands-on workshop session. (When you sign up via email, please indicate any other topics you’d like to see covered.)
