Interested in learning more about the Library of Congress? 
Check out this video (1 hour, 31 minutes) created by C-Span.



C-SPAN's original feature documentary, The Library of Congress, is a behind-the-scenes look at the national repository, providing the history of the institution, a tour of its iconic Jefferson Building, and glimpses of some of the library's rare book, photo, and map collections. The film also featured some of the presidential papers housed at the Library of Congress, ranging from George Washington through Calvin Coolidge. Viewers learned how the library uses technology to preserve its holdings and expand public access to them, as well as how technology is helping to uncover new information about some of the items in its collections.


This is a well done video!

A search on “genealogy” in the archives yielded references to the following:

·        Regulation of Genetic Testing & Genetic Testing and Privacy

·        Life of William Grimes, the Runaway Slave

·        Chinese America: The Untold Story
