Library of Congress - Washington, D.C. - New in 2012!

Faculty Mentor:

Faculty Mentor Email: 

The Liljenquist Family Fellow at the Library of Congress will partner with an experienced photography curator to improve Civil War collections access. The Library’s Prints & Photographs Division has the largest U.S. collection of original Civil War images. The war’s 150^th anniversary has sparked new interest in these unique resources, and gathering more information about the images will make them easier to use through the online catalog, www.loc.gov/pictures. Specific activities could include:

•  Gathering documentation and assisting with archival housing for recent additions to the Liljenquist Family Collection, which focuses on rare ambrotype and tintype photographs showing enlisted Civil War soldiers and their families. (Current photos are online at http://www.loc.gov/pictures/collection/lilj/.) 
• Preparing Civil War photographic prints for digitizing to improve online access to the military events and camp life shown in the images. 
• Research to verify proposed new identifies for places and people shown in pictures that are already online, primarily through the Flickr Commons project, http://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/. 
• Drafting a short article about recent Civil War acquisitions for the Center for Civil War Photography newsletter.  
• Contributing to preparations for a major Civil War exhibition due to open at the Library in September 2012.

Knowledge of history or photography and experience doing library research and ability to write concisely is helpful. The learning objectives include visual literacy, the management of cultural heritage assets, and policy issues related to the role of online communities in identifying (“crowd sourcing”) information for historical images. Library staff will provide a general orientation to collections, facilities, and activities.

The Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division is the cultural heritage steward for more than 14 million photographs, drawings, and prints from the 15th century to the present day. International in scope, these visual collections represent a uniquely rich fund of human experience, knowledge, creativity, and achievement, touching on almost every realm of endeavor: science, art, invention, government and political struggle, and the recording of history. For more information, visit www.loc.gov/rr/print/.

Founded in 1800, the Library of Congress is the oldest federal cultural institution in the United States and the largest library in the world, with more than 147 million items in diverse languages, disciplines, and formats. As the world’s largest repository of knowledge and creativity, the Library is a symbol of democracy and the principles on which this nation was founded. The Library seeks to spark the public’s imagination and celebrate human achievement through its programs and exhibits. In doing so, the Library helps foster the informed and involved citizenry upon which American democracy depends. The Library serves the U.S. Congress and the nation both on site, in its reading rooms on Capitol Hill, and through its award-winning website at www.loc.gov.
