Archival Research in Practice
Please join Quinn Christie, Public Services Archivist for the Monsignor Field Archives and Special Collections Center (also the liaison librarian for Art and Art History), for a special session on how to conduct archival research. Next Monday, March 18th from 5-6:30 pm in the Archives Reading Room, Ms. Christie will share exciting ways to "dig deep" into your area of study, including locating, using and citing sources in archives, challenges and rewards of archival research, and how to plan a research visit.

This session is geared towards graduate students but welcomes all members of the Seton Hall University community. Bring your questions and an open mind.

Professor Dermot Quinn Shares Research Methods of Seton Hall History Book
Dermot Quinn, D. Phil. of the Department of History writes often on Catholic and Irish American history. He chronicles the history of Seton Hall in his recent book, Seton Hall University: A History, 1856-2006 (Rutgers University Press, 2023). Called "...extraordinarily adept at many things," by Monsignor Robert Sheeran, Quinn in his writing "takes a bunch of disparate facts and various experiences – some soft, some hard – and puts them together, creating from them a believable and richly textured narrative that gives the story at all levels." Appearing on Zet Forward on January 30, Quinn discussed the research and writing process. "I pay a very heartfelt vote of thanks to...the Library and Archives at Seton Hall," said Quinn. "It's a fairly daunting thing...behind the imposing doors of the vault, there are shelf after shelf of boxes, and to write this book, I pretty much had to read all of that...and then you can discover an item - a letter that tells you what you were looking for.
