Succinct, informative text and lavish colour illustrations lead the reader through the history and collection of one of the greatest cultural and intellectual resources in the world: The Library of Congress. This newly revised guide celebrates the Library's three buildings on Capitol Hill with sumptuous photography, highlighting the vast array of eclectic treasures housed in this repository of international culture. Included are the founding documents of the American Republic, Japanese fine prints, Arabic caligraphy, maps, music and musical instruments, posters, architectural drawings, comic books, and historical photographs, among other riches. This new guide features a new design, and a new chapter on the Library's use of new and emerging technology and offers the only definitive guide to this unique and complex institution.
