Learning Objectives

The purpose of this training is to master the basic principles of organizing and storing information in databases, as well as mastering methods for classifying and evaluating the reliability of historical materials.

This training is aimed at developing the participants' competencies in the field of working with databases and assessing the quality of historical materials, which will allow them to more effectively carry out historical research and work with information from various sources.

Course structure

At the workshop, we will look at each of these issues in detail and discuss best practices and techniques that will help researchers and analysts work with historical materials.

The first issue that we will consider at the workshop is the structure of the database. We will explore how to efficiently organize and store historical materials to ensure accessibility, usability, and data security. Let's analyze the basic principles of database design and examples of their application in the field of historical research.

The second important aspect that we will consider is the classification of historical materials according to the degree of reliability of information. We will discuss various criteria and methods that allow us to assess the reliability and reliability of historical data sources. This will allow researchers to correctly evaluate and use materials when analyzing historical events and facts.

Finally, we will pay attention to the certification process of the database, that is, to assess its quality. We will look at the various methods and tools that are used to verify the authenticity and accuracy of historical materials. This includes source analysis, cross-validation of data, as well as the use of expert assessments and modern technologies.
