TRansforming Instruction in Undergraduate Mathematics via Primary Historical Sources (TRIUMPHS)
The TRIUMPHS project has created classroom materials designed to actively engage students in doing mathematics as they interact with the original writings of mathematicians from various world cultures and historical time periods. By carefully intertwining excerpts from those original writings with a series of intentionally designed tasks, these materials prompt students to act like mathematicians themselves – asking questions, interpreting ideas, exploring examples, conjecturing and proving theorems, and comparing multiple perspectives – as they build their own robust understanding of key mathematical concepts and methods.

Ethically Teaching Primary Sources that Reflect Histories of Violence, Hate, and Oppression
Because teaching with primary sources that reflect difficult and violent histories can be demanding for both students and instructors, we take a more holistic approach to ethically teaching primary sources. The suggestions are student-centered and include a reflection component for special collections and archival instructors. Do consider the preparation time required and intellectual/emotional labor, as well as the breadth of your holdings, and then select the suggestions that suit your individual needs and instruction session best.

These guidelines articulate the range of knowledge, skills, and abilities required to effectively use primary sources. While the primary audience for this document is librarians, archivists, teaching faculty, and others working with college and university students, the guidelines have been written to be sufficiently flexible for use in K-12 and in general public settings as well. The guidelines articulate crucial skills for navigating the complexity of primary sources and codify best practices for utilizing these materials.
