The principal mission of the Laboratory for the Auxiliary Sciences of History is to support the historical education offered by the Department of History and Archaeology. Its focus is on academic sectors, methods, languages and scientific approaches which are not part of the standard undergraduate and graduate curriculum, yet they are crucial for the development of research skills. In this context speakers are invited to lecture on the relation of History with the Social Sciences, seminars are offered on Greek and Ottoman palaeography and annual introductory language courses (Turkish and Ladino) are organised, along with other activities which aim to familiarise students with Oral, Digital, Public History, and modern trends in historiography.
