From the Declaration to Superman: Digitization and Digital Preservation at The Library of Congress
The Library of Congress houses 164 million items in nearly all formats, languages, and subjects, making their collections the single most comprehensive accumulation of expression ever assembled. Among these are human remains of five presidents, the bullet that killed President Lincoln, the skeleton of Able the Space Monkey, Paul Revere’s dental tools, the skull of an unknown 54th Mass Soldier from the American Civil War, President Garfield’s spine section, the comic books Batman #1 and Superman #1 and countless other national treasures. Come hear about Matt's role in digitizing these items and other items in our nation's collections and his efforts in making them available to all.
