UNC Faculty and Staff Workshops
UNC faculty and staff can explore a vast variety of Library of Congress resources representing Voices of the Americas through upcoming FREE workshops offered through Teaching with Primary Sources at UNC. These workshops are part of the UNC campus and community-wide collaboration focusing on this year’s theme, Voices of America.
Three workshops offered through the Center for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning (CETL) on campus will be held over the next three months, focusing on Library of Congress online resources with ideas for integrating them into courses. Check our website for times and register through CETL.
- January 20: Library of Congress: Diverse American Voices explores ethnic perspectives from American history using Library of Congress collections, including numerous collections focusing on African-Americans in anticipation of Black History Month.
- February 11: Library of Congress: Early Americas explores online exhibitions and collections, including maps, documents, paintings, prints, and artifacts from the Jay I. Kislak Collection.

UNC created the Voices of the Americas community collaboration focus to highlight issues about and celebrations of the diversity of cultures, languages, traditions, and people who are part of the ever changing reality of the Americas. Through the various events, participants can experience the complexity of cultural traditions in the western hemisphere from a wide range of viewpoints.
