EVERTON'S FAMILY HISTORY NEWSLINE
Monday, 24 April 2000
This Day in History: 24 April 1800
Today is the bicentennial of the world's largest library, the Library
of Congress. Beginning with books and supplementing them with audio
and video recordings, paintings, photographs, and virtually every
other medium of sharing information, the Library of Congress has
managed to amass a collection of over 115 million items.
The acquisition of these items is only part of the mission of the
Library. Its staff is also charged with cataloging these items,
preserving them, and making them available to the public -- as much
as possible.
The Washington, DC facilities of the Library have long been a
favorite haunt of genealogists and other researchers, but the advent
of the Internet has made it possible for millions of others to access
a small part of the Library's vast collection.
Among the online treasures now available are photographs, audio files
and transcripts in a number of online exhibits, most notably the
American Memory Collection. And of course, a large part of the
Library's holdings appear in the searchable online catalog, helping
family historians track down both rare books and new releases that
can help them in their efforts to trace their family trees.
