The Teaching with Primary Sources Collective gathers resources, professional development and advocacy for those who teach with primary sources, including librarians, archivists, teachers, and cultural heritage professionals. The site is hosted by the Instruction and Outreach Committee of the Rare Books and Manuscripts Section (RBMS) of the Association of College and Research Libraries, and is jointly maintained by members of the Instruction and Outreach Committee of RBMS and the Reference Access and Outreach Committee (RAO) of the Society of American Archivists. Participation in the site is open to anyone who has an interest in teaching with primary sources.
The TPS Collective was made possible by a pilot site created in 2015-2016 by the Society of American Archivists’ Section on Reference, Access, and Outreach, in collaboration with the ACRL Rare Books and Manuscripts Section. RAO proposed creating a site as a pilot project to test the feasibility, use and usability of an interactive site for archivists/special collections librarians working in the emerging role of archival instructor.
