Biographical research is an academic discipline focused on the systematic study of an individual's life using primary sources like archives, letters, and public records. Our courses teach you to construct evidence-based narratives, not fictionalized accounts.

We emphasize ethical research practices. This includes respecting copyright, privacy laws (like GDPR), and obtaining necessary permissions when using sensitive archival material. Our methods prioritize accuracy and respect for subjects.

Our curriculum distinguishes between scholarly biography (peer-reviewed, source-cited) and popular narrative. We train you in the former, focusing on methodological rigor, source criticism, and contextual historical analysis.

No prior degree in history is required, but strong reading and analytical skills are recommended. Completing our courses equips you with research skills, but does not confer a formal academic accreditation or guarantee publication.

While we teach how to utilize digital archives, we caution against over-reliance on unverified online information. A core module is dedicated to source validation and cross-referencing with physical repositories where possible.
