U.S. Library of Congress — moves to digitize it’s collection
This isn’t really new information for many people but I thought in view of this new YouTube video that others might like to see what goes on in the U.S. Library of Congress to preserve our written history.
I visited the Library of Congress shortly after the Reading Room and other parts of the library were renovated several years ago. It’s a beautiful place. The tour was wonderful. My husband and I were two of four Americans in a tour group of about 20 people. I don’t know if the numbers have changed much over the years. A friend who works there doubts it. It seems many people from other countries put visiting the U.S. Library of Congress on the list of interesting stops when visiting the US. However, American’s visiting Washington, DC don’t seem to have the same list of priorities.
Wonder why? Hope you enjoy a pick at American’s premier library.
