Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) is the Library of Congress premier educational program, focused on helping educators enhance students’ critical thinking and analysis skills and content knowledge using the Library’s collections of millions of digitized primary sources.

The TPS Consortium extends the reach and use of the TPS program by creating curriculum and digital applications, delivering professional development to pre-and in-service teachers, and contributing to research on effective strategies for incorporating primary sources into K-12 instruction.

The Barat Education Foundation and a number of TPS Consortium partners are focusing on providing civics content. Descriptions and links to partner offerings are highlighted below.
