Most of the Library's collection is focused on US primary sources, but, as we keep finding, it has an amazing international collection too.

Greetings from the Center for Slavic, Eurasian, and East European Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill!

As part of our outreach mission, we provide educators with the tools, resources, and knowledge needed to teach about the history, cultures, and languages of the region.

Through a grant from the Library of Congress - Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) Eastern Region program, we are currently developing a professional development module for middle and high school history teachers, focusing on teaching about the Cold War using primary sources. Our goal is to equip teachers with resources and strategies for fostering students' historical awareness and understanding of the Cold War's legacies and its impact on contemporary events.

Your input is invaluable at this stage! Please help us tailor this module to ensure that it is both relevant and practical for your classroom. We estimate it will take you no more than 5 minutes to complete the survey - https://forms.office.com/r/PR4vTyc91C

Know a teacher who might be interested? Please share this survey with them!

Thank you for your participation!

The Library has a large collection of fully digitized books on 81 countries throughout the world.  They were published in the 1990s and early 2000s by the Federal Research Division.  From Albania to Yugoslavia with stops in Chile, Somalia, and Vietnam, your students can explore the History, Culture, Religions, Politics, and Environment of nations on every continent. 

The book on Israel is especially pertinent today because it covers Palestine as well.

Joining these books with the amazing Maps collections can be an entire week's lesson.
