This session will be a conversation about the value of primary source material in teaching. The panel will include a History professor, a librarian and members of two publishing houses who are involved in launching primary source material collections such as Churchill Archive and Drama Online. The intent of the session is to discuss how primary source material can add value in the classroom and how librarians, students and professors can make the best of the resources available to them. The panelists will also provide examples of how collections of primary source material fit within their institution’s curriculum and how their use may be different (or similar) in the US and in the UK
