“Obleka.” Frank H. Nowell, Nome. Copyright 1907. Prints and Photographs Division. LC-USZ62-104394 (b&w film copy neg) bibliographic record

Whether you are looking for a biography of an Alaskan woman or a journal on women's health, a description of women's roles in the American Revolution or a book on dating rituals of the 1920s, you need three things to find such items in the General Collections: valid subject headings, call numbers, and appropriate catalogs.

“Searching LC Catalogs” provides a brief overview of these three topics and should be read in conjunction with these sections.
