This study aims to determine the degree to which archival graduate programs are preparing students to teach with primary sources. We designed and distributed a survey to archival graduate program administrators listed in the Society of American Archivists (SAA)'s Directory of Archival Education Programs, as well as to archival graduate programs accredited by the American Librarian Association (ALA). The survey was sent to forty archives graduate programs in 2015 and to thirteen additional programs in 2016. In addition to the survey, we examined course descriptions on the websites of the surveyed graduate programs to determine what types of pedagogical training classes were offered. The survey found little pedagogical training in graduate programs for future archivists. While some coursework exists, syllabi or assignments often vary by instructors and teaching with primary sources is not a required content area for archives-traclc students. Archivists-in-training may be able to develop pedagogical skills by taking courses outside of the archives track, but most teaching with primary sources training comes from practical experience outside of coursework. Given the recent professional scholarship in the area of teaching with primary sources and the increase in job postings requiring archivists to teach with primary sources, we hope the results of this survey will inform curriculum development for graduate programs, continuing education offerings, and professional development opportunities.
