Dikan Library & Archives
Dikan Library & Archives provides resources for study and research. It connects people with materials they can explore, question and use to develop their understanding and work.
Start with a question
You may be following a particular subject or encountering it for the first time. Original sources can open a question, challenge an interpretation or offer a starting point for new work.
Sources and their context
Understanding a source means considering what it is, where it comes from and the people and histories it concerns. Careful description and credited contributions help others question, interpret and build on knowledge.
Sources and inquiry
