I know the Madison Building was one of the first to be evacuated (I added this to the building's page) but have there been any news/reports about how the Library and collections were effected? Something to keep an eye out for in the news coverage. Verumregium ( talk) 23:09, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
Here's a good place to start looking for that information: GovInfo.gov's "Select January 6th Committee Final Report and Supporting Materials Collection" [1] Wrecksdart ( talk) 13:39, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

The Library of Congress is a research library that officially serves the United States Congress and is the de facto national library of the United States. Founded in 1800, it is the oldest federal cultural institution in the country and one of the largest libraries in the world. The library is housed in three buildings on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.: the Thomas Jefferson Building (completed in 1897), the John Adams Building (1938) and the James Madison Memorial Building (1976). It also maintains the National Audio-Visual Conservation Center in Culpeper, Virginia, and a storage facility in Fort Meade, Maryland. The library's functions are overseen by the librarian of Congress, and its buildings are maintained by the architect of the Capitol. This photograph, taken by William Henry Jackson, shows the Thomas Jefferson Building around 1902. Photograph credit: William Henry Jackson; restored by Mmxx

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Library of Congress's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "LOC":
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. Feel free to remove this comment after fixing the refs. AnomieBOT ⚡ 00:28, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
