And of course there's the old chestnut of the difference between Archives and Special Collections which will need to be explained ... ;)

Subject: Re: MA Students using archives for the first time: where to begin!
I've been following this thread with interest - and Alison kindly shared a link to our Brunel Special Collections blog.
I'm in the middle of reading "Past or portal? Enhancing undergraduate learning through special collections and archives", which I'm reviewing for the CILIP Rare Books & Special Collections Group newsletter, so I won't say too much about it now. There are a lot of case studies in it which would work just as well with MA students as undergraduates. It would be worth looking at too for anyone looking for more ideas.
Best wishes,
Katie
