***ANNOUNCEMENT*** Coming on June 9th on Blu-ray in the US from @UndercrankProd: #EdwardEverettHorton: 8 Silent Comedies (1927/1928)! Remembered today for his fussy persona in Hollywood sound films such as Top Har (1935) and /Arsenic and Old Lace (1942), Edward Everett Horton is not anyone's idea of a silent slapstick comedian— but he was! Although overlooked, Mr. Horton had a substantial career in 1920s silent comedies which culminated in a series of eight starring two-reelers produced by no less than Harold Lloyd. Under the banner of Hollywood Productions, the series was tailored to Horton's already well-honed screen character, and was made by Lloyd's regular staff of writers, directors, and behind-the-scenes crew. Having the production values of the Lloyd features, the best of these shorts are right up there with Pass the Gravy, Limousine Love (both 1928) and Big Business (1929) as examples of the final peak of silent comedy: Long unavailable and mostly forgotten, the shorts survived and were preserved in the 1970s. Undercrank Productions, together with the Library of Congress, is proud to present these new digital restorations made from 35mm preservation elements, and unveil an unknown chapter in the career of a great comedian and movie icon.

On this day, in 1800, President John Adams signed an act of Congress that established the #LibraryofCongress—America's oldest federal cultural institution. With 173 million items, it is currently the world's 2nd largest library, and is also the most visited library in the world.

Il #24aprile 1800 apre la #LibraryofCongress a Washington: diventerà la biblioteca nazionale americana. Conserva 28 mln di libri catalogati, compresa una delle Bibbie di Gutenberg, altro materiale stampato in 470 lingue e più di 50 mln di manoscritti. E' la più grande del mondo.

🇺🇸📚 #OTD 24 April 1800, the #LibraryOfCongress was established when President #JohnAdams signed an act of Congress appropriating $5,000 "for the purchase of such books as may be necessary for the use of Congress ... and for fitting up a suitable apartment for containing them."

Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s appearance at the Library of Congress for the 2026 Supreme Court Fellows Program Annual Lecture is a perfect example of how the Court attempts to bridge the gap with the public. Hearing her discuss the daily life of a justice and the inner workings of the Court alongside Judge Robert Dow Jr. offers a rare, less formal look at one of the country’s most insulated institutions. Whether you agree with her judicial philosophy or not, these types of civic education events are vital for demystifying how decisions that affect everyone are actually made. It’s definitely worth a watch for anyone interested in the intersection of law, history, and the reality of serving a life term on the nation’s highest bench. ⚖️🏛️ #SCOTUS #AmyConeyBarrett #LibraryOfCongress #Law #Civics

📅 On this day — March 9, 1903 President Theodore Roosevelt signed Executive Order 206, transferring the nation’s “Revolutionary archives” from the State Department to the Library of Congress. The collections included the records of the Continental Congress and the papers of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, James Monroe, and Benjamin Franklin. Why did TR do it? Because he believed America’s founding documents were not merely administrative records—they were national treasures. For decades, these papers had been held by the State Department as working government files. But by 1903, the United States was emerging as a modern power. Scholarship was expanding. Public access to history mattered more than ever. Roosevelt understood something fundamental: a democracy must preserve—and make accessible—its own origins. By placing the Revolutionary archives under the care of the Library of Congress, he ensured professional preservation, centralized custody, and broader historical access. It was an act of stewardship as much as administration. For Roosevelt, conservation did not apply only to forests and rivers. It applied to memory. #OnThisDay #TheodoreRoosevelt #LibraryOfCongress #AmericanHistory #Archives
