The Adventure of the American Mind (AAM) is a congressionally funded project designed to teach K-12 and collegiate educators how to access and use the digitized primary sources at the Library of Congress.  The Library of Congress now has over 10 million digitized items from more than 100 historical collections and has placed them online in the American Memory Collections.  Professional Development opportunities for area teachers include content such as Digital Storytelling, Visual Literacy, and Creating Rich Learning Experiences, all of which incorporate the use of primary sources in the curriculum.

The Brevard College AAM office coordinates this project for three counties in Western North Carolina under the direction of the Education and Research Consortium whose board includes the presidents of Brevard College, Mars Hill College, Montreat College, and Western Carolina University.
