American Memory was included in Entertainment Weekly's annual list of what's hot and what's not.
Listed under "Five Best Web Sites," American Memory, the Library's initial digitization project, is touted as having "amazing archival film footage and sound recordings from the turn of the century."
Besides film and audio, the collection contains archival photographs, manuscripts and music.
It has Mathew Brady's glass-plate negatives of the Civil War, text of the Constitutional Convention of 1789, African American political pamphlets published after the Civil War and Works Progress Administration interviews of everyday people during the Great Depression.
The Uniform Resource Locator is http://www.loc.gov.
Entertainment Weekly published the address in its listing, which ranked American Memory with such web sites as the Simpsons Archive and the Internet Movie Database.
The listing appeared in the Dec. 30, 1994-Jan. 6, 1995 issue of the magazine.
