From an Announcement:

The Library of Congress has a new home for teacher resources: the Teachers page is at loc.gov/teachers.

For more than ten years, the Library has provided teachers with access to millions of digitized primary sources and the tools educators need to use them in the classroom. As of today, these tools are moving to a new, easy-to-find center for teachers just one click away from the Library’s home page. Some of the new features include:

+ TPS Direct, the Library’s new build-your-own professional development tool.

+ A dedicated home page for primary source sets.

+ Using Primary Sources, a quick introduction to the authentic classroom use of primary sources.

+ Coming soon, a new search tool just for classroom materials.

The full transition will take place over time, and new features will become available from now on, so keep watching for the latest developments. If you’re having trouble finding a familiar resource, ask our reference staff using the Contact link at the bottom of every Library Web page.

Whether you’re a longtime user or just beginning, we hope you’ll explore the new site, update your bookmarks, and discover the instructional power of primary sources at loc.gov/teachers.
