Teachers: Library of Congress

Taken from the original website: “The Library of Congress offers classroom materials and professional development to help teachers effectively use primary sources from the Library’s vast digital collections in their teaching.”

Content Comments

This section of the Library of Congress website includes information and teacher guides for how to teach with primary sources. The Library of Congress has also created classroom materials for teaching with primary sources. These materials include both primary sources and instructional resources to help teachers plan for how to use them. There are sets of primary sources related to specific topics and events, lesson plans created by teachers, and online activities for teachers and students. In addition to the classroom materials, teachers may find the online professional development modules especially helpful.
