History Special Topic

newgrange

You have access to the Internet. There are experts on both the topics you mentioned lecturing in History around the world. Email them, tell them what age you are, that you are interested in the topic, explain about the Leaving Cert. History Research topic and say you would appreciate it if they would help you out with any queries you might have or in sourcing information - all they can say is 'no'. Make sure you let them know you do not want them to 'tell' you things, but to guide you a bit. Like any group of people there will be the sort that ignore you, but there will also be the ones who are delighted you have chosen one of their 'pet' areas to study, and will be pleased to help.

Spend some time wording your letter, and checking it for spellings etc., a well written email can open all sorts of doors.

Firstly, this thread is 5 years old.

Secondly, while people around this forum are generally helpful to one another, someone simply handing over a copy of their project from a previous year to someone who is undertaking the same topic this year is certainly NOT something we would encourage!!
