>> From the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. >> The Library of Congress has assembled a wealth of primary sources for the K-12 educator. One great place to start is on the Teachers Page.The staff of the Library has done much of the work of finding primary sources for you, and has created a number of short cuts for finding primary sources without searching. Most teachers find that the Primary Source Sets offer easy access to selected primary sources that they can use quickly. A Primary Source Set is a set of selected primary sources on a specific topic most of which are available as easy-to-use PDFs. Each set also come with historical background information on its topic as well as teaching ideas and tools to guide student analysis. Primary Sources by State takes a close-up look at the states by presenting selected primary sources for each of the fifty states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. territories. These state sets include primary sources from different eras of each state's history, and usually feature a wide range of formats, from manuscripts and maps to films and folk songs. Another way to find primary sources is to use the Today in History feature. Today in History is available from the Library's home page. Today in History features information and primary sources on a specific event or events in history, along with suggestions for how to search for additional primary sources on the topic. In addition, you can use the archives link to search all 365 entries for Today in History or search for specific topics by keyword. The Library's experts are also available through the Ask a Librarian service if searching doesn't yield the primary sources you need. Look for the Ask a Librarian button on each Library of Congress Web page. >> This has been a presentation of the Library of Congress. Visit us at loc.gov.
