Library of Congress - Putnam established the Legislative Reference Service

Time: 1914

Place: Washington D.C., U.S.

Details: In 1914, Putnam established the Legislative Reference Service as a separative administrative unit of the library. Based in the Progressive era's philosophy of science as a problem-solver, and modeled after successful research branches of state legislatures, the LRS would provide informed answers to Congressional research inquiries on almost any topic.
