    I am excited to announce that the American Library Association has created a new Primary Sources Libguide!

    https://libguides.ala.org/primarysources

    The guide is meant to make primary sources accessible to all kinds of libraries. Each section (Arts, Civics, Folklife, History, Literature, Maps, Military Experience, and STEM) of the guide focuses on a specific Library of Congress digital collection and ways that libraries can use that collection in programs and activities for various audiences to promote primary sources.  

    The programs presented are ideas that have been developed so that librarians can either use them as offered or tailor them according to the needs of the intended audience. Each page lists several related collections that can be used for similar programs or as a launch pad for new programming ideas. 

    The American Library Association received funding from the TPS Partner Program to develop this resource guide to offer primary source resources to library workers and educators and inspire them to use LOC digital collections for educational/programming needs. 

    We hope that you will enjoy the guide and find some good ideas for your libraries and classrooms.
