Each year the Library of Congress provides opportunities for teachers to work with the staff and facilities of the Library to discover primary sources on specific topics, and to explore ways to effectively integrate those sources into classroom teaching.

- Understand and analyze primary sources
- Employ primary sources in classroom activities
- Access primary sources from the Library of Congress
- Understand the legal and ethical use of digital resources
- Understand the inquiry process
- Create inquiry-based activities using primary sources
- Resources from some past institutes are available
