They will gain insight into their particular period of study through investigating the archives and relevant areas of the palace and by questioning a costumed interpreter playing the role of a witness to key historical events. 

Subjects available include Suffragettes, Civil War and the Mid-Tudor Crisis. Visit The National Archives for full session descriptions.
