The TPS Journal

The Library of Congress's Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) program works with an educational consortium of schools, universities, libraries, and foundations to help teachers use the Library’s vast collection of digitized primary sources to enrich their classroom instruction.

Professional development opportunities provided under the Teaching with Primary Sources program include workshops, seminars, graduate courses, distance learning courses, and mentoring to teachers of all disciplines.

The TPS Journal is an initiative of the Federation of Independent Illinois Colleges and Universities and it aims to publish and present work that is relevant, timely and useful to both academic researchers and practitioners.
