NHHC

The Naval History and Heritage Command traces its lineage to 1794, when the Navy Department Library was established under the Naval Bureau, which was part of the War Department in Philadelphia. In 1800, President John Adams asked Benjamin Stoddert, the first Secretary of the Navy, to prepare a catalog of professional books best suited for a naval library. Today, the NHHC is the central resource for today’s operational Navy and acts as the service's institutional memory. Headquartered on the historic Washington Navy Yard, D.C., the Command includes ten Navy museums nationwide as well as a detachment that maintains the Navy’s oldest commissioned warship, USS Constitution, in Boston, Mass.

The NHHC manages the official history program of the United States Navy, fulfilling its mission to strengthen the Navy’s effectiveness by preserving, analyzing, and interpreting the service’s hard-earned experience. A professional staff of historians, archivists, librarians, museum specialists, and naval personnel carries out historical activities and supports the fleet.

The Command oversees Navy programs and instructions related to history; advances knowledge of naval history and heritage through professional research, analysis, and interpretation, delivering a range of knowledge products and services; advises the Navy, other agencies, and the public on issues related to Navy ship and aircraft wrecks; and administers grants, fellowships, scholarships, and internships related to naval history.

Trends and Policy connects policy and related statistics and news together — a single location for researchers to explore complex U.S. government policies and their impacts and consequences. Editorially created topic pages provide an overview of key laws, concepts, events, and geographic areas, and include featured events and associated policy and statistics. Linear timelines illustrate the progression of policy over time and put policy in context with suggested further readings.

This unique series of topical collections includes:

  • U.S. Environment
  • U.S. Healthcare
  • U.S. Immigration
  • U.S. Criminal Justice – coming December 2023

Trends and Policy: U.S. Criminal Justice (coming Dec. 2023): This collection merges content from a variety of sources and presents them in a unique interface designed to connect various criminal justice policies of the United States to their trending results. Included in this extensive module are all criminal justice-related public laws and hearings, Legislative branch reports, Executive branch reports and data, press releases, and present-day and historical news articles. The design of the product includes timelines, contextual topic pages for laws, concepts, and events, and rekeyed statistical content that allows researchers to work with the data.

Executive Branch Documents: ProQuest offers unique insight into American society through our Executive Branch Documents, which boasts a wide array of materials produced by the Federal government from our nation’s founding through the mid-20th century. Topics span business and industry, foreign trade, navigation, immigration and population, health, religious affiliations, military operations, and more. The corpus is continually growing and currently includes six collections.

ProQuest Executive Branch Documents Great Series and Reports, Part 1 (coming Dec. 2023)- This is the first module of a new program available on ProQuest Congressional which will offer Federal agency annual reports and other clearly defined Executive Branch series and periodicals, as well as selected monographs with significant research value. Content selection will focus on executive branch documents which have value for teaching, learning, and research when searched in conjunction with legislative branch materials. Every effort will be made to offer a complete run of each series so the user will be able to begin with current content and then go back in time to add context, and to offer newly digitized mid-twentieth century in cases where the content has not been digitized. Where possible, the content will bridge the gap between historic content in our existing Executive Branch historic collections and recent content going up to the present.

The mission of the Law Library of Congress is to provide authoritative legal research, reference and instruction services, and access to an unrivaled collection of U.S., foreign, comparative, and international law. To accomplish this mission, the Law Library has assembled a staff of experienced foreign and U.S.-trained legal specialists and law librarians and has amassed the world's largest collection of law books and other legal resources from all countries, now comprising more than 2.9 million items. Currently, the Law Library operates under three main areas of expertise:

Collection Services

The Law Library serves as the nation’s custodian of legal and legislative collections from all countries and legal systems of the world housed in the Library of Congress. As custodian, the Law Library maintains, retrieves, preserves, and secures the print and microform collections. Maintenance includes the shelving of all incoming volumes and serial pieces, filing of incoming loose-leaf updates, advance sheets, and pocket parts, and the weeding of superseded volumes. Retrieval includes the servicing of any material requested. Preservation includes the preparation for binding of newly collated volumes, and the preparation of material to be digitized, microfilmed, or boxed. Security of the collection involves making sure all Library of Congress regulations on this topic are followed in the handling of the legal collection.

Foreign Law Research

The Law Library of Congress provides foreign and comparative legal and legislative information services to national and global researchers through its Foreign Law Specialists. The foreign law specialists are a diverse group of foreign-trained attorneys whose primary jurisdictions include Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, the European Union, France, Germany, Greece, India, Iran, Israel, Japan, Lebanon, Mexico, Nicaragua, Russia, and the United Kingdom. Other jurisdictions are attended to by additional foreign-trained attorneys retained under special contracts. They provide research guidance and assistance using the Law Library's foreign, international, and comparative law collections, as well as information and analysis through the Global Legal Monitor and Legal Reports.

Public Services

In addition to foreign and comparative legal information services, the Law Library also provides research assistance and reference services on United States federal and state legal issues to national and global constituents. Through its staff of skilled law librarians, the Law Library guides requesters to appropriate print and electronic resources and advises constituents on efficient and effective research techniques. They produce a variety of online products, including:
