Library of Congress
It was opened in 1800 by a resolution of Congress, and is currently located on the left side of the Capitol in Washington DC. As the nation's central library, the Copyright Act was revised in 1965, and copyrights are protected by depositing books in this building. It aims to be not only a national library, but also an international library. The union catalog contains 488 books acquired before World War II, 119 books added after the war, and 9 indexes for these. There are also about 600,000 books related to Japan in the Oriental Section.
