Just in Time for the Major League Playoffs and World Series: Baseball Resources at the Library of Congress Web Guide

Access the Baseball Resources at the Library of Congress Web Guide

From the Introduction:

Baseball Resources at the Library of Congress is a [new] guide [released on September 25, 2009] to baseball resources available on the Library's Web site and in its physical collections. The breadth and depth of materials highlighted will appeal to baseball researchers, while casual and diehard fans alike will find many digitized items documenting the history of baseball to fuel their passion for the game.

The guide is divided into four major sections: Library of Congress Online Resources, which presents baseball materials freely available on the Library's Web site; Conducting Baseball Research at the Library, for researchers interested in locating baseball materials off-site through the Library's online catalog and on-site through the Library's subscription databases and divisional holdings; External Resources, a gateway to other baseball Web sites; and Bibliography, a selected bibliography of print resources about baseball for adults and younger readers.

This Web Guide was compiled by Peter Armenti, Digital Reference Specialist.
