61. Preservation Frequently Asked Questions (Preservation, Library Of Congress) Information on how to store, restore, display, and preserve books, photographs, and other materials. http://www.loc.gov/preserv/presfaq.html

The Library of Congress Librarians, Archivists Preservation Pages All Library Pages Home Preservation FAQs Preservation Frequently Asked Questions How should I store my books? How should I display documents or works of art on paper? Can I save wet books? What if my books are moldy? How can I get rid of the smell of mildew in my books? ... What If I have other questions about preservation of library and archives materials? How should I store my books? Store books out of direct sunlight and where air can circulate freely. Store them away from windows and don't put them on shelves against outside walls. Store books on flat, smooth shelves that are strong enough to support their weight. Ideally, books should not be in contact with unsealed wood because it can release damaging acidic vapors. Line shelves with acid free board to prevent this problem. Stand books vertically side by side. Keep similar sizes together: small books next to small books, and large books next to large books. Use bookends to keep the books from falling over, and be sure they are high enough to support the books completely. Avoid storing books in an attic or basement because attics get too hot and basements get too damp. Both are also subject to rapid changes in temperature and humidity levels. Keep books out from under plumbing and water pipes; water damage from these sources is all too common.

The Library of Congress Hours: Telephone: (202)707-5000 or -5558 Metro: Capitol South The library was originally housed in the Capitol, and most of its books were destroyed when the British shelled the building during the War of 1812. The major step in rebuilding the collection was taken in 1815, when Congress purchased the 6,000-volume personal library of Thomas Jefferson. With the purchase of the books of Dr. Otto H.F. Vollbehr in 1930, the library more than doubled the size of its collection of incunabula, which is now the largest in the Western Hemisphere. The main Library of Congress building was erected in 1897; the library also occupies the Thomas Jefferson building, formerly called the annex, and the new James Madison building. The post of Librarian of Congress, appointed by the president with the advice and consent of the Senate, has often gone to eminent scholars and artists, as well as to professional librarians. Recent Librarians of Congress include Archibald MacLeish (1939-44), L. Quincy Mumford (1954-74), Daniel J. Boorstin (1974-87), and James H. Billington (1987- ). Return to map

76. Judaic Treasures Of The Library Of Congress: Jacques Halevy Biography. http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/loc/Halevy.html

Judaic Treasures of the Library of Congress: Jacques Halevy One of France's greatest composers, Jacques Fromenthal Halevy (1799-1862), was also the son of a cantor. His father, Elie Halfon Halevy was the secretary of the Jewish community of Paris and a Hebrew teacher and writer as well. Musically gifted, Jacques was accepted as a student by the Paris Conservatory at age ten and subsequently became a member of its faculty, rising to the rank of professor in 1833. His lasting fame was assured by his grand opera La Juive Marche Funebre et De Profundis en Hebreu for three voices and orchestra. On its engraved title page, Halevy was described as a member of the Royal Institute of Music and a recipient of the patronage of the King of France at the Academy of Rome. Jacques Fromenthal Halevy Marche Funebre et De Profundis en Hebreu , Paris, 1820. Music Division. Psalm 130 , "Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Lord ...

It’s not every day that we need to get up bright and early to take part in a live broadcast from the truck, but it sure is exciting.  Fox 45 out of Dayton stopped by on the Friday of our event to chat with us on the Morning News.  This is just one of the unpredictable elements of our job, one of the things that make it great. I can honestly say that there is not typical day in the field.  We both feel very fortunate to have found our career and that the Library of Congress trusts us with their endeavor.   While traveling with the Gateway to Knowledge exhibit, we are firsthand in seeing the impact the available resources have on inspiring learning and exploration.
