“…In Visser's summary of a 2006 survey on the state of education outreach to K-12 institutions by higher education special collections, she notes polarized attitudes toward this work as well as a lack of scholarly literature detailing K-12 outreach. 18 Visser writes of efforts at the University of Colorado-Boulder to support both undergraduate and K-12 students but does not note any similarities between these initiatives or potential transferability of the methodologies and resources developed, beyond the comment that "Special Collections at CU-Boulder does emphasize touch, with both child and adult patrons." 19 Efforts developed specifically for K-12 audiences also include initiatives to support teacher training in the use of primary source materials in the classroom as well as the development of materials for students.…”

This article explores the work of archivists and special collections librarians in teaching with primary sources (TPS) for K–12 and higher education audiences and argues that the resources created for this work have largely targeted either audience, but not both. Building on a trend in the TPS literature toward skills-based instruction efforts, this article introduces a crosswalk between skills-based standards typically used in higher education (the SAA/RBMS Guidelines for Primary Source Literacy) and K–12 education (Common Core State Standards). This crosswalk demonstrations how resources created with one audience in mind can be adapted for use with other audiences. Examples of this crosswalk’s application are provided, as well as a discussion of the pitfalls of standards-based learning and the potential of a standards-based crosswalk to open up communication and collaboration around the benefits of teaching with primary sources.

“…Unfortunately, literature on this topic is comparatively limited as documented in a recent survey to assess the extent of K-12 programming by special collections of American Research Libraries (Visser 2006). Based on anecdotal evidence, the actual number of special collections providing some type of K-12 support could be greater than reflected in the survey.…”

While clearly still in the minority, a growing number of rare map libraries are actively exploring opportunities to introduce the K-12 educational community to their collections. The challenge is how to connect these disparate organizations in a meaningful way which takes both the teachers' and students' needs into account, while safeguarding the rare materials. This paper offers a brief summary of the current state of K-12 outreach in special collections and describes how educational outreach programs for elementary and middle school students were developed and promoted at the Osher Map Library and Smith Center for Cartographic Education, a rare map library at the University of Southern Maine.
