Discover the Power of Primary Sources

Breathe realism and immediacy into learning by harnessing primary sources—the raw materials of history—in your classroom. Housed, protected and now digitized by the Library of Congress by the millions, such primary sources are available and free to anyone:

  • Letters
  • Manuscripts
  • Diaries and journals
  • Newspapers and magazines
  • Advertisements
  • Speeches
  • Photographs
  • Interviews
  • Recordings (video and audio)
  • Items from “pop” culture

What was once the sole domain of top scholars and archivist is accessible to teachers at all levels. White gloves, special permission and a trip to Washington, D.C., not required.

Primary sources catapult students into high-level thinking and help teachers meet the demands of standards-based education in new and creative ways.

The virtual doors to the Library of Congress are open. Let us show you what’s possible so that you can do great things for yourself, your peers and the students in your life.
