\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\tThe American Historical Association is proud to manage the Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) Mid-Atlantic and US Territories Region funded by the Library of Congress to further the Library’s mission to engage, inspire, and inform the American people with a universal and enduring source of knowledge and creativity.<\/p>\n
The Mid-Atlantic and US Territories Region<\/strong> encompasses Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia, as well as American Samoa, Puerto Rico, Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and US Virgin Islands.<\/p>\n A broad range of education institutions and community, civic, and professional groups are eligible to apply for subgrants of up to $25,000 for projects and initiatives that expand the body of innovative strategies, tools, and resources for meaningful teaching and learning with Library of Congress materials.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLearn More\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n TPS subgrants fund initiatives grounded in engagement with primary sources and tailored to the unique needs of learners in specific communities. Past subgrants have, for example, provided resources for nonprofits working with teachers in remote areas in their state. They have helped local cultural institutions connect items in their holdings with digitized primary sources from the Library, providing learners with both a local and national view of important historical events. TPS regional subgrants have supported projects that support teaching and learning in civics, economics, disability history, law, writing, local and place-based history, media literacy, data visualization, state archives holdings, Congressional center activities, student inquiry, and many others.<\/p>\n The TPS Regional Program also offers subgrants under the\u202fLewis-Houghton Civics and Democracy Initiative<\/a>, named in honor of late Congressmen John Lewis (D-GA) and Amo Houghton (R-NY). The initiative supports civics, history and democracy learning among secondary students, using creative arts-based primary sources. Educational organizations across the country can apply for subgrants to incorporate music, art, drama, and literature through primary sources from the Library’s collections into secondary curricula.<\/p>\n The TPS Mid-Atlantic and US Territories Region will review proposals submitted before deadlines throughout the year. The TPS Mid-Atlantic and US Territories Region is not currently accepting new proposals. We anticipate a new round of regional subgrant funding beginning in September 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLearn More\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t Find information about the required application documents.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLearn More\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t Learn about who is eligible to receive a grant, what the target audience is, and more answers to frequently asked questions.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLearn More\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t TPS Consortium Members working in the Mid-Atlantic and US Territories Region are eligible for mini-grants to extend their TPS work.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLearn More\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n Meet the Teaching with Primary Sources team.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLearn More\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t Since 2006, the Library has awarded TPS grants to build a nationwide network of organizations that deliver educational programming, and create teaching materials and tools based on the Library’s digitized primary sources and other online resources.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLearn More\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t The TPS Regional program promotes the widespread, sustained and effective use of primary sources from the Library of Congress in a variety of educational settings by increasing access to the TPS program.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLearn More\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t Join the TPS Teachers Network to find primary source-based teacher materials relevant to your own classroom.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLearn More\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJoin our TPS Mailing List\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\tFunded by a grant from the Library of Congress Teaching with Primary Sources program.
