Government information research series: Historical government information & government financial documents

Session Description

January 27, 2021 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm EST

In a series of three workshops, learn to navigate the complex world of government information which provides official, authoritative, primary sources for almost every topic.

Historical government information & government financial documents:

Government information, which can span decades if not centuries, offers primary and often detailed evidence on almost every topic in history. Come and explore different perspectives of world events from documents issued by various national governments. This session will also introduce core government financial documents which can be used for tracking spending and digging deeper into historical and contemporary policy. The budget, public accounts, and the estimates will be presented, including their functions and potential use cases in a variety of research scenarios.

Open to University of Toronto students, faculty, and staff.
