1. 1507 Waldseemuller Map
2. 1455 Gutenberg Bible
3. Declaration of Independence(rough draft)
4. 1962 drawings for the comic books Spider
5. Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman.
There are also several computers the public can use to look up information on The Library of Congress(web site).
If you have a chance to visit this great exhibition I would highly recommend it. Also, if you are in the Washington DC area take time to visit the library-do not be like me and put if off.
For more information: Library of Congress
Hope everyone will have the week of your choice!

How cool to have that come to you! I love history! Hard to believe you lived in DC and didn't go there!
Hello Nancy
It is hard for me to believe too!! I am a book lover big time and feel bad about not going to visit. When you live in the city you do not take advantage of all that you have at your finger tips.
Best
Tracy :)
