The IUB Libraries is pleased to announce the first-ever Primary Source Immersion Program for Bloomington instructors. The three-day workshop, to be held in August 2017, will introduce faculty and instructors to new possibilities for integrating primary sources and special collections into their courses with the goal of engaging students with the materials in meaningful ways. This program represents a collaboration among the Libraries’ Department of Teaching & Learning and partner repositories across the campus. 

Partner repositories include:

• Archives of African American Music and Culture
• Archives of Traditional Music
• Black Film Center/Archive
• Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology
• Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction
• Liberian Collection Project
• Lilly Library
• Mathers Museum of World Cultures
• Moving Image Collection and Archive
• Sage Historic Costume Collection
• University Archives
• Wylie House Museum

All recipients will receive a research stipend, thanks to the generous support of the Jay family. Proposals for course integration were due in April, and following a rigorous selection process we are now pleased to announce the first cohort of grant recipients:
