Join author Jane Aikin as she discusses her research for her recent book, The Library of Congress: From Jefferson’s Vision to the Digital Age, with historian John Cole and curator Cheryl Fox. The discussion will reveal the process by which Aikin identified, connected, and interpreted the Library’s collections in her work, including the primary sources she studied in the Library’s Manuscript Division. The Library of Congress Archives collection, a collection of material dating from the Library’s founding in 1800, will be a focus.
