- What's on
Researching Singapore’s legal history is important to understanding how its laws have evolved, and the purposes they were built to serve. Yet, finding historical legal materials can be challenging. Most sources are not accessible online, and identifying authoritative sources requires familiarity with the various records.
Join us for a guided exploration of the historical legal sources available in NUS Libraries. Discover legislative materials, constitutional documents and more, to deepen your understanding of Singapore’s legal development.
This workshop is the fourth in our Historical Sources series. Other workshops in this series:
- Discover Our Libraries’ Diverse Resources: From Art, to Media and Beyond! (5 Mar 2026)
- Discovering NUS Libraries' Historical Newspapers Collections (12 Mar 2026)
