How to Read and Understand Old Handwritings?

Dept. of tools, kerlone, November 27, 2002 at 12:08:55 PM CET

If someone (like me) is doing anthropological research in old travel journals, conqueror letters or missionary/ethnographer notes, he may have trouble with the original sources. How to read the old hand writings? How to understand them? The University of Zürich provides a great online course which will probably be very helpful. The NZZ reports about it.

This online-course is just stunning! Unfortunately it's in german only. But I advise every german-speaking student who wants to use archives to do this course.
There's a lot of hype about the Internet as a teaching tool which makes one quite suspicious -- but the guys who wrote this online-course definitely have proofed that really worthwhile teaching concepts can be realized online!
