Listening Appointments

Appointments are required for listening to material in our collection.
Listeners can telephone the Reference Center at (202) 707-7833, fax your request to (202) 707-8464, or submit an email request through rsrc@loc.gov. Be sure to include the name and title of the items requested, the call numbers, and personal contact information so we can confirm your appointment.

It may take up to a week for us to fill your requests and have the recordings available for you in the Reference Center.
Patrons are able to use the Reference Center without appointment to access the catalogs, reference books, archival collections, microfiche, microfilm and other reference sources.
