Two New Online Resource Guides Plus Improved Database Searching from the Library of Congress

Two new resource guides and improved searching of the Japanese Prints & Drawings are now available from the Library of Congress.

1) Robert Fitzgerald: Online Resources

This guide compiles links to resources on poet Robert Fitzgerald throughout the Library of Congress Web site, as well as links to external Web sites that include features on his life or selections of his work.

2) Japanese Prints & Drawings

The Prints and Photographs Division houses more than 2,500 Japanese woodblock prints and drawings, dating from the seventeenth to the twentieth centuries, by such artists as Hiroshige, Kuniyoshi, Sadahide, and Yoshiiku. They have been online for some time, but searching them was challenging because of the lack of description. All images now have titles (Japanese and English translation) and subjects, enhancing searching and identification of these woodblock prints and drawings.

3) Franklin Pierce: A Resource Guide

The digital collections of the Library of Congress contain a wide variety of material associated with the 14th U.S. President. This resource guide compiles links to digital materials related to Pierce such as manuscripts, broadsides, government documents, and images that are available throughout the Library of Congress Web site.
