Funded by a grant from the Library of Congress, the Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) program at MSU Denver coordinates the TPS Western Region which serves 16 Western States by offering grants to organizations that plan to integrate the Library’s resources into educational programs and teaching materials.

The TPS program at MSU Denver also administers the TPS Teachers Network which is a professional learning community centered on Library of Congress primary sources. Join today at tpsteachersnetwork.org.
