Many thanks for the suggestion, Virginia.

P.S. The Senate Library has been in existence, separate from the Library of Congress, for much longer than either one of us!

Hi, Manon -

I worked for several years in the Geography and Map Division of the Library of Congress. Their cataloguing staff is excellent and since you're working on the Senate side, you should be able to get the answers from them quite easily.  Once I left the Division, I worked for my Senator for five years before I went back to school.  From both positions, I found the response to requests from offices in either chamber was always found rapidly and delivered immediately to the Office making the request.

There was no "separate" Senate Library at the time, but conceptually, I don't see your Library's relationship with LC as being different from any other office on the Senate side, meaning that you ought to be able to get this information from the Geography and Map Division without difficulty.

Hope this helps.
