Course content
Local history is a sub-field with rich traditions in Norway, among skilled historians as well as amateur historians. Introduction to themes and practices within local history is a part of this course. The aim is to provide an introduction to different ways to study the history of local communities: one approach focuses on the history of the local community in its own right, another takes a more general perspective, where the local community serves as a point of departure for studying larger historical processes, nationally or globally. The course also focuses on cultural heritage in a local context. The course will provide an introduction to archive search and collecting of different types of source material that are commonly used in local history research. The course will also examine how different social units can be studied: the family or household as a society's smallest component, rural communities, cities and regions. Examples and source material will be from the period after ca. 1660 and up to present times.
