Abstract
I completed a survey of 4,002 historians, assisted by the American Historical Association, on how faculty use primary sources to teach undergraduates. The survey, crafted with assistance from survey specialists and analyzed by the Survey Research Center at Penn State, provides current, valid, and interesting information about a large and growing group of users of academic archives. These solid results will provide a basis for more effective collaborations with faculty as well as a strong complement to the two sessions on the program on teaching with primary sources. I will make handouts available as well as a link to complete survey results.
