Baseball Resources at the Library of
Congress is a guide to baseball resources available on the Library's Web site and in its physical collections. The breadth and depth of materials highlighted will appeal to baseball researchers, while casual and diehard fans alike will find many digitized items documenting the history of baseball to fuel their passion for the game.
Please select from the links at the right to access different sections of the guide. The guide is divided into four major sections: Library of Congress Online Resources, which presents baseball materials freely available on the Library's Web site; Conducting Baseball Research at the Library, for researchers interested in locating baseball materials off-site through the Library's online catalog and on-site through the Library's subscription databases and divisional holdings; External Resources, a gateway to other baseball Web sites; and Bibliography, a selected bibliography of print resources about baseball for adults and younger readers.
This guide was prepared in conjunction with the Library of Congress symposium Baseball Americana (October 2-3,
2009). The symposium coincides with the publication of Baseball Americana: Treasures from the Library of Congress (New York: Smithsonian Books/Harper, 2009), a visual history of baseball that draws upon the collections of the Library's Prints and Photographs Division. Please send any corrections, additions, suggestions, or
comments to the Digital Reference Section.
