This book shows how resources such as photographs, censuses, school logbooks and street directories can be used by children to create their own local history project, which they may be required to do as part of their Key Stage 2 History. A cartoon bloodhound demonstrates the skills needed to use primary source material. Questions raised by unusual photographs allow the reader to practise his or her detective skills. The virtue of this book is that it simplifies the use of resources such as libraries and record ofices, making the study of history as much fun as possible.
