New Primary Source Sets for Education Published
Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) is very pleased to announce the release of its second group of Primary Source Sets about topics in US history, literature, and culture, along with new features for navigating our growing project. These sets were developed and reviewed by our Education Advisory Committee for use by students and teachers in grades 6-12 and higher education. Each set includes an overview, ten to fifteen primary sources, links to additional resources, and a teaching guide. This project was generously funded by the Whiting Foundation.
DPLA will continue adding new sets and new features to the project through Spring 2016. To learn more about DPLA’s education work, read about education projects, sign up for the education news list, or contact education@dp.la.
