Sponsored by the Reference, Access, and Outreach (RAO) Section of SAA, this open-ended series of case studies is designed to illustrate the application of the Guidelines for Primary Source Literacy. The guidelines were developed by a joint task force charged by SAA and the Association of College and Research Libraries’ (ACRL) Rare Books and Manuscripts Section (RBMS). Additional resources for those interested in teaching with primary sources are available on the TPS Collective website maintained by the Instruction and Outreach Committee of RBMS.
You are invited to learn more about Case Studies on Teaching With Primary Sources by clicking here, and to read the case studies published below.
