Teaching using Special Collections
Find out about our teaching sessions and how to use the rich resources to support teaching and enhance the student experience.
Teaching sessions
Our carefully designed teaching sessions enable your students to work with primary sources and develop crucial analytical skills. We can offer teaching both online and face-to-face.
Choose from our range of sessions, all of which use primary material from our collections and can involve our specialist staff to deliver or co-deliver with you:
- Introduction to Special Collections
- Introduction to archives
- Introduction to rare books
- How to find and use relevant archives and rare books here and elsewhere.
- Primary source analysis
- Referencing & citation of Special Collections materials
- Using digital material v using original material
- Palaeography basics
Alternatively, we can work with you to create a bespoke session tailored to your module or subject area. We’d love to hear from you!

Career Development module placements
Each year we offer a limited number of placements within Special Collections as part of the University's Career Development Module.
If you have a student who might be interested, they can either contact us at libhelp@ncl.ac.uk or visit the Career Development Module pages.
