Ask a Librarian
Ask a LibrarianWant to ask the reference staff a question about the microform collections?

The Library of Congress has actively acquired microforms since the early 1940s. A separate reading room was established in 1953 for the custody and service of the Library's general microform collection. In 1972, it was named the Microform Reading Room to indicate the variety of microformats in the collection that now numbers some six million pieces in hundreds of distinct collections.
