A valuable addition to Phillimore's already impressive range of books on how to use archive material for historical research, Tracing the History of a Business has been comprehensively brought up to date to include the recent development of useful online and digitised sources. This rewritten, extended and updated book will help historians of all sorts and descriptions locate historical information about a specific business. Ranging from guiding the researcher to the archives themselves to helping them find the best primary and secondary source material, and including an extensive list of useful publications and organisations, this book will be the starting point for anyone interested in the fast-growing area of business history.
