The US Library of Congress American Memory site has added two more
features to its burgeoning digital historical collection. The first new
offering is a preview of the online Leonard Bernstein collection. With
over 400,000 items, the Bernstein collection is one of the largest held
by the LOC Music Division. This preview offers 85 photos, a complete
Finding Aid (SGML viewer required), a Chronology, and a Bibliography.
The second new addition to American Memory is a collection of
approximately 2800 lantern slides of American buildings and landscapes
constructed between 1850 and 1920. Users can view slides of cities,
specific buildings, public and private parks and gardens, as well as
plans, maps, and models. Special features include a history of Boston's
Park System, an exhibit on New York City Parks in Use in 1912, and a
history of Lantern Slides. Users can search the photo database by
keyword or browse by subject, state, or name. [MD]The Leonard Bernstein
