The Library of Congress
The historical documents found here at the Library were created by individuals as well as groups. They reflect the private side of life as well as the public and include unpublished and unofficial materials. Together they make a richly textured tapestry of failure as well as triumph, of broken promises as well as exalted dreams.
They constitute a road map for discovery, and, as Jefferson knew well, the journey of discovery in a library is always, to some degree, a journey of self-discovery.
