Teaching with Primary Sources builds on the success of the Library's previous outreach initiatives, particularly the American Memory Fellows and An Adventure of the American Mind programs, which reached more than 10,000 teachers. 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 Federation of Independent Illinois Colleges and Universities () in conjunction with its partners has developed a Teaching with Primary Sources project to integrate primary source-based teaching and learning using Library of Congress digitized resources into pre-service and in-service teacher education.
