Jesse’s research explores the strategies taken by German-Czechoslovak entrepreneurs to defend their families’ socio-economic status in interwar Europe.
What libraries, archives, or sites do you plan to visit in summer 2025 for your research?
Sam Houston Regional Library and Research Center. I plan to visit the Princeton University Archives in July-August 2025.
What makes the experience of doing archival or site-based research meaningful to you?
Engagement with the historical sources in the archive connects me with both past and present, occasionally a social opportunity with archivists and fellow scholars. To have found yet one more wrinkle adding to the my overall work.
Jesse’s research tips:
“Take active electronic notes in the archives, not only of what you find, but how it connects to your research interests and your overall project. It helps stave off boredom, provides a mental break, and maintains excitement for your work.
Use an app like ScannerPro to make high-quality PDF copies of archival material that can later be linked to a citation program. Saves time and produces usable copies for later when writing."
