LPCPL is pleased to announce that 278 Library of Congress digital collection records are now in our system, with direct links from our online catalog! Each has a subject term that can be easily searched to find these remarkable collections.
The Library of Congress houses over 171 million items, 15 million of which are digital items available online. Most of the collections include historical items, such as maps and music from the Civil War or life in the early 1800’s, but there are also more current topics, such as items in the Zine web archive.
Once you go into an item in the online catalog, click on the hyperlink under Electronic Resources (towards the bottom of the information) and you will go directly to the items in that collection.
Here are a few examples:
Before and after the great earthquake and fire: early films of San Francisco, 1897 to 1916
World War history: newspaper clippings, 1914 to 1926
Comics literature and criticism
African-American band music & recordings, 1883 to 1923
