Join us this Thursday, January 22, for an Orientation to Law Library Collections webinar. The Orientation to Law Library Collections (OLLC) Webinar is designed for patrons familiar with legal research who would like an introduction to the collections and services specific to the Law Library of Congress. It will cover digital resources available through the Law Library’s website, as well as those available onsite.
This OLLC Webinar will feature a special appearance by librarians who assist with the State Library of Pennsylvania's Law Collection as part of the State Law Libraries Outreach Project. The purpose of the State Law Libraries Outreach Project is to strengthen the ties between the Law Library of Congress and state law libraries by sharing information about our collections, products, and services with the public. This project involves providing a guest spot for state law librarians, or their designees, to discuss the collections and services they offer during our OLLC Webinars.

| News from the John W. Kluge Center: Register Now For "Rare Mesoamerican Maguey Paper: Botanical Origin, Regional Manufacture, and Use"
|
| 01/20/2026
|
|
Join the John W. Kluge Center and Betsy Haude for a public event on February 4, 2026 at 4pm. It will be viewable in person in room LJ-119 of the Thomas Jefferson Building at the Library of Congress without registration, or register to watch live on Zoom.
Betsy Haude, Library of Congress Staff Fellow at the Kluge Center and Paper Conservator in the Conservation Division, will discuss maguey paper – the rare Mesoamerican paper type made from the fibers of agave. Haude will show how maguey paper was part of the holistic multi-product use of agave and how it was tied to the production and ritual of a pre-Hispanic alcoholic beverage.
Only ten manuscripts have been identified in the world as being made of maguey paper, and all ten are from 16th century Mexico. The inspiration for this research project resulted from Haude’s technical examination of an important manuscript in the Library of Congress’s collections, the 1531 Huexotzinco Codex.
