Teach with The Latin American Library

This Library Guide contains sample lesson plans and other resources that teachers and librarians can use and adapt when collaborating with The Latin American Library, or in their own library and research skills classes.

Special Collections Workshops

Below are lesson plans and worksheets that The Latin American Library has designed in collaboration with faculty in the History Department at Tulane University. In the two sessions linked below, students worked in pairs or small groups to analyze one grouping of items from the LAL Special Collections, which the librarians laid out on tables in advance of class.
