The TPS Mid-Atlantic/US Territories Region issues subgrants through two Library of Congress programs. Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) grants fund initiatives grounded in engagement with primary sources and tailored to the unique needs of learners in specific communities. The Lewis-Houghton Civics and Democracy Initiative (LHI) supports civics, history, and democracy education using creative-arts based primary sources for secondary students. Programs awarded grants through TPS and LHI will be welcomed into the Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) Consortium with a shared goal to increase the educational value of the Library’s collections.
