Library of Congress digital collections

The Library of Congress's Jefferson Building houses extensive physical collections and an online repository (loc.gov) that provides millions of digitized items - photographs, maps, manuscripts, and recorded sound - freely accessible to the public. High-resolution images and datasets from the Library are regularly downloaded, republished, and shared across news sites, educational resources, and social media. The Library's Chronicling America digitized newspaper project is frequently cited and linked in online research and journalism.
