The TPS Collective seeks to maintain a chronological, user-generated bibliography for resources about Teaching with Primary Sources. This bibliography began in 2013 as an early project of the TPS Committee of the Society of American Archivists (SAA) Reference, Access, and Outreach section and has been maintained by the TPS Collective since 2019.
We add content to this bibliography manually. Publications come to our attention through various publication alerts, by scanning blogs that share about new scholarship connected to education and archives, and by perusing publication tables of contents. Our focus is scholarship about use of primary sources for instruction in a variety of contexts; we typically look for publications that go beyond a simple “how to” and include some kind of reflection and/or theory on this practice. We also maintain a separate teaching tools library that is dedicated to lesson plans, exercises, activities, and guides.
If you would like to suggest a resource for the bibliography, please visit the Submit a Bibliography Entry page.
The TPS Bibliography is maintained as a Zotero library, which you can access directly here. (The entries below are harvested from Zotero to this page using the Zotpress WordPress plugin.)
In 2021, an Article Discussion Club was launched, led by the SAA-TPS Committee and open to all. Visit the info page to learn more about upcoming and past topics, articles, and discussions.
