Catalog and Finding Aids

There is no single catalog of the Hispanic collections in the Library of Congress. The Hispanic Division was realigned in 1944 to concentrate on acquisitions and reference activities. Custodial ownership of the Hispanic collections we then held was assigned to a variety of other divisions within the Library of Congress. In other words, we now provide a guide to the reader in search of material throughout the Library of Congress' collections through a variety of different tools.
