interpret these collections and bring their stories to the public.

Library of Congress, Washington

Library of Congress collections contain over 162 million books, periodicals, manuscripts, maps, music, recordings, images, and electronic resources. The LC Catalog contains 17 million records describing these collections. You can search Catalog records by keyword or browse by authors/creators, subjects, names/titles, series/uniform titles, and call numbers. Browse lists also include searching aids such cross-references and scope notes.

Library of Congress cataloging dates back to 1898. The LC Catalog includes many early records (primarily for books and periodicals) created by the Library between 1898 and 1980. These records are gradually being updated to reflect contemporary language and usage. Authors/creators and subjects found on older records often contain the legend "[from old catalog]" to indicate possible deviations from current LC practices. In addition, records for some materials cataloged before 1980 are only available to researchers onsite in the Library's Main Card Catalog.

Items in the Library's special collections are generally described as aggregations or archival collections rather than individually identifying each specific item. LC Catalog records for many archival collections are linked to more detailed guides available in Finding Aids Search. Library special format materials are also discoverable via separate expert search systems (such as American Memory, Chronicling America, the Performing Arts Encyclopedia, and the Prints and Photographs Online Catalog) that are gradually being replaced by the single search available from Library of Congress Home. Databases, ejournals, and ebooks that are available to patrons onsite (including items found in fee-based online services) can be located through the E-Resources Online Catalog. Primo Central, a web-scale discovery service, offers access to articles, ebooks, and other eresources in selected subscription and free resources available at LC.

Nehru Memorial Museum and Library Archives

The Founders of the NMML decided that the Institution should have three main constituents: a Memorial Museum, a Library on modern India, and a Centre for research in modern Indian history. The Museum at the Teen Murti House has been primarily developed as a personalia museum. The Nehru Museum informs visitors of the achievements and life of Jawaharlal Nehru and highlights the ideals cherished by him. The Library has been planned as a research library on modern and contemporary Indian history and social sciences. Its published resources acquired for the Library include books, pamphlets, newspapers, periodicals and other documentary materials. The Library has a rich collection of material on microfilms and microfiche. The NMML Archives, besides the Jawaharlal Nehru family papers, has acquired papers of nationalist leaders of Modern India and other eminent Indians who distinguished themselves in any field. Also records of non-official organizations, associations and societies which played an important role in the development of modern India are also acquired by the NMML. The collection of private papers, which is largest in the country, continues to grow steadily with fresh acquisitions almost every month. With extensive collections of documentary films, photos and oral history interviews, it is a premier archive of 20th century India and the contemporary period.
