Wiki Version:
From spring 2016 to spring 2018, the Teaching with Digital Primary Sources Subgroup of the DLF Digital Library Pedagogy Group reviewed existing literature on teaching with primary sources, covering sources from information literacy and archival studies perspectives. Ultimately, we concluded that a body of literature on teaching with digital (digitized or born-digital) primary sources does not exist. A number of key sources on teaching with primary sources touch on digital sources but do not contain in-depth discussion of this material and are almost entirely focused on non-digital primary sources (an exception is Randall Studstill and Peggy Cabrera’s article “Online Primary Sources in Religious Studies”). Where authors do provide discussions of digital primary sources, they do not articulate the specific competencies students will need in order to engage with digital primary sources, though they may offer specific class case studies or apply approaches from instruction with physical primary sources. Identification of relevant sources is indebted to the annotated bibliography from the [ACRL RBMS/SAA “Guidelines for Primary Source Literacy”](http://www.ala.org/acrl/sites/ala.org.acrl/files/content/standards/Primary%20Source%20Literacy2018.pdf) and the [SAA Reference, Access and Outreach Section’s Zotero library](https://www.zotero.org/groups/76402/teaching_with_primary_sources/items/collectionKey/2BKBRTH8). Searching beyond these lists did not reveal substantially more resources relevant to our focus on digital primary sources. Going forward, the Teaching with Digital Primary Sources Subgroup plans to address the gap in the literature with a white paper on best practices for teaching with digital primary sources.
