In July 2011, Nicholas Taylor posted an entry to this blog about the amount of data transferred to the Library of Congress and the likely sources of some of the public perceptions of the size of the Library’s digital collections. And Matt Raymond of the Library posted an excellent overview of the size of the Library’s collections in February 2009.
Since then, I’ve become somewhat obsessed with references to the size of the collections, and the use of “a Library of Congress” as a unit of measure. Just check Wikipedia under “unusual units of measurement.”
