Live from the Library of Congress! A Guide to Visual Archival Research<\/span><\/h1>\n

\nLibrary of Congress<\/em><\/p>\n

The Library of Congress is the world\u2019s largest library, and its visual collections in the Prints & Photographs Division alone number 17 million items. Because of its scale, it can be difficult to understand what the Library actually has, or how to see it in as you conduct your research. Hear from a Library of Congress reference staff member about navigating the art and visual collections at the Library both remotely from California and in-person in DC, and learn about fellowships offered by the Library.j<\/p>\n

Leigh Gleason is a UCR alum (MA 2005), and was formerly the director of collections at UCR ARTS. Since 2023, she has been the head of the reference section for the Prints & Photographs Division, overseeing a reading room that greets some 1700 in-person visitors per year, in addition to a robust virtual refer-ence service. Leigh holds a PhD from the Photographic History Research Centre at De Montfort University (Leicester, UK), as well as a MLIS from San Jose State University.<\/p>\n
