On June 30, 2025, the Library of Congress launched its new catalog system for all research centers. This post will highlight the new public-facing online catalog and provide tips and best practices for search and discovery of cartographic materials in the Geography and Map collections. The catalog is the main access point for the Library's collections, including map collections.
