Abstract
Over the last 20 years, archivists have been increasingly concerned with the role of archives in the teaching of primary source material to K-12 students. The Common Core State Standards, or CCSS, emphasizes the need for the mastery of reasoning skills and the importance of inquiry-based learning, making the archive a vital resource for teachers. The Society of American Archivists’ Guidelines for Primary Source Literacy opens the door for collaboration between archivists and K-12 educators, but more explicit guidelines are needed for young learners. This paper discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the SAA Guidelines for Primary Source Literacy and provides a companion guide targeted at K-12 students and educators that focuses on collaboration and archival thinking.
