Batter UP!  Baseball at the Library of Congress

From Civil War POWs to the World Series, Americans have found a way to play 
baseball.  Explore America's fascination with its national pastime through 
photographs, personal accounts, films, and memorabilia - including baseball cards 
from 1887! 

Please join Library of Congress staff this afternoon for a Web conference 
introducing some of the baseball-related  treasures to be found on the Library's 
Web site.

When:  Wednesday, July 13, 2:00 p.m. (E.D.T.), 1:00 p.m. CST 

To attend, go to:

Type your name and click Enter to go into the online room.  A small software applet 
will download to your computer as you enter the room. All that is needed is an 
Internet connection, sound card, and speakers.  A headset with microphone will 
enable you to speak to the group.

Note:  Use of Internet Explorer is recommended.  Log on 5 minutes early to allow 
for the web conference software to be downloaded automatically to your computer.
