The LOC.GOV Wise Guide : Little Shop of Treasures

The Library of Congress Sales Shop may be small in size but it is very big in its rich selection of unique merchandise appropriate for the holiday – or any – season.

The Opera 2006 calendar features a colorful poster for Puccini’s “Turandot” and illustrations for other opera favorites.

Top Sellers such as “Forever a Soldier,” a project of the Veterans History Project; a framed “Migrant Mother” photograph; or the “Railroad Songs and Ballads” CD make great gifts.

These and other items are based on the extraordinary collections of the Library of Congress, the world’s largest repository of knowledge.
