Archive Case Files is a learning module where students explore and analyse archival objects and learn how to construct historical narratives using varied primary sources.

A curated collection of historical objects from the DAG collection relating to the theme will be presented to the students such as photographs, letters, postcards, newspaper clippings etc. Stepping in to the shoes of historians, students will be given the challenge of unearthing details of the soldier’s experiences of the War. The current module that runs for 2 days for 2.5 hours each day, looks at the participation of Indian soldiers in World War 1.

Through the two workshops they will learn how to document, interpret and ‘read’ the archival materials to gather information, and share their findings with their peers and teachers using a specially designed creative workbook.
