Library of Congress Data ( Titles and Authors of Books/Articles ) In August 1990, I acquired an extensive listing of LOC Titles and have searched/sorted the data by states if the State is listed mentioned in the title. These are ASCII TEXT files. There are now available to the users of LISTSERV@MAIL.EWORLD.COM. The source of the TITLE data is from a search of all the Library of Congress TITLE and ARTICLES/BOOKS for the keyword "Genealogy" either beling in the article or the title. If you get one of the files and find something of interest... then GREAT ! If you request one of the STATES files and find an articles of interest in one or more of the LCCN numbers, when contact the LOC for more information. They will make copies of the articles for about $.45 (US) per page or with the LCCN and/or ISBN you might find the article in another library. The main telephone number for LOC is: (301) 299-7820 Inter-Library Loan number for LOC is: (301) 299-7803 Format for the data: LCCN 8 ISBN 10 Title Statement 120 Data length 144 Here is directory listing of the Library of Congress (STATES) data files. Note: Some of the descriptions are cut-off and are sent to LISTSERV as I have received them, if you can use it ok, otherwise - send your complaints to: /dev/null Library of Congress (in Washington, DC) Library of Congress (Across the street from CAPITOL Bldg.) ATTN: Photo Duplicating 1st & Independence Ave. Washington, D C 20540 Main Number: (202) 707-5000 Library Loan 707-5444 Ms. Kay Blair Photo Duplicating 707-5640 The cost for Photo Duplicating (copying materials) is $ .45 per page plus $ 4.50 if total is under $50 and $ 7.50 if over $50. All contacts or requests for copying must be initiated by correspondence and your requests will be checked and they will reply telling you if they have found your request and the cost for copying the material. They don't listen to "the check's in the mail trick ! ! !" Then you mail the check, they copy it and send you the material. I talked with Ms. Blair and she will check for information while on the phone, ie. surname or title search. I talked with her at length today, and she was very helpful. Most of the Genealogical and History books/articles cannot be loaned to your local library. Maybe this will help some of you... Good Luck ! Cliff
