Learning from Inclusive Sources
This website is the start of a service for K-12 social studies teachers to provide inclusive primary sources.

This website has been funded in part by a COSTAR grant from Saint Mary’s College and a Teaching with Primary Sources regional grant from the Library of Congress.
