Overview

SHAFR Research Resources

The research section of the SHAFR website includes selected resources for historical research and a set of Archive Guides compiled from the pages of Passport: A SHAFR Review. SHAFR also serves as a voice for the concerns of researchers, including the need to protect access to and preserve historical documents for future generations of scholars.
