Library Of Congress Unveils Blog

April 26, 2007

Our older, wiser sister blog, Beltway Blogroll, reports that the Library of Congress has joined us in the ever-expanding blogosphere. The library blog's author, Matt Raymond, said in his introductory post that the archive "was producing electronic content long before the Web even existed, so it's fitting today that we become one of a (surprisingly) small handful of federal agencies with a bona fide blog."

Raymond said his musings will keep with the spirit of the library's mission as a whole: "To make its resources available and useful to the Congress and the American people, and to sustain and preserve a universal collection of knowledge and creativity for future generations." I'm not sure how that jives with his Friday morning post about a Dilbert cartoon, but it's entertaining nonetheless.
