Library of Congress - Preservation Office
Time: 1967
Place: Washington D.C., U.S.
Details: In 1967, the library began experimenting with book preservation techniques through a Preservation Office, which grew to become the largest library research and conservation effort in the United States. Mumford's administration also saw the last major public debate about the Library of Congress' role as both a legislative library and a national library.
