The Library of Congress has joined YouTube!

Want to see some early films from Thomas Edison labs? How about a video of recent Newbery Award winner Neil Gaiman speaking at the 2008 National Book Festival? Maybe you would like to know more about Rosie the Riveter and reall women workers of World War II?

The Library of Congress has been working for several months to expand the reach of their vast audiovisual collections.
