The Library of Congress’ robust Teaching With Primary Sources (TPS) program is a consortium of organizations that was formalized in 2006 and has grown steadily to bring educational resources to K–12 classrooms, universities, literary groups, historical societies, libraries, museums, home-schooling educators, and civic groups. Library of Congress educational specialists produce teacher’s guides outlining techniques for the study of specific information media, such as books, charts, manuscripts, maps, motion pictures, newspapers, oral histories, photographs, political cartoons, sheet music, and sound recordings. These concise downloadable manuals coach teachers on ways to guide students through interactions with various formats of historical materials so they observe and identify details, reflect, test sources, and formulate questions that prompt further inquiry and study.
