Come take off with us on a journey to explore the aeronautical collections of rare books, manuscripts, prints and photographs, maps, music, books, and periodicals at the Library of Congress. In celebration of National Aviation Day on August 19, Science Reference Section Head JJ Harbster will showcase the Library’s world-class history of aviation collections, with special emphasis on digitized materials. A synopsis of how the Library of Congress developed this collection, aided by the Daniel Guggenheim Fund for the Promotion of Aeronautics, will also be included.
