The Library kicks off Black History Month with a new By the People crowdsourcing project -- transcribing the papers in the William A. Gladstone Afro-American Military Collection.
Julie Miller, the Library's historian of early America, explains in this short video how Americans began the tradition of presidential inaugurations with the ceremonies for George Washington.
The Library is the 2021 recipient of the Bernardo de Galvez award, given by the Fundacion Consejo Espana-Estados Unidos to American citizens or institutions who help promote and nurture relations between Spain and the United States.
