Library of Congress Music Division Picks LAC Federal For Archiving, Preserving American Treasures

ROCKVILLE, Md., July 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- LAC Federal, a provider of mission-critical  library, information, and knowledge management services for the U.S. government, has won a contract from the Library of Congress Music Division to archive an historic music collection at the library's Landover, Md., facilities. Beginning in August, LAC Federal will preserve and rehouse more than 18,000 boxes of copyrighted music, scripts and other written material, such as Bob Hope's joke portfolio.

"Our team will be providing preservation treatment and new, state-of-the-art housing to ensure a long life for these materials," says Tom Miller, vice president for LAC Federal. "Our team is excited to be working with some of the most universally fascinating items from American history; this really is a once in lifetime project."

Until the 1970s, to secure a copyright, U.S. law required people to submit two copies of whatever work they wanted protected to the Library of Congress as part of a copyright deposit. The collection that LAC Federal will work on includes decades of American sheet music, and potentially some of the most important music in American history.

The project represents an expansion of LAC Federal's current activities at the library, into a division where it has not done work before. The Music Division's managers will look to and draw on LAC Federal's experience helping the library's other divisions archive and preserve assets. 

LAC Federal's clients include the Foreign Service Institute's Stephen Low Information Center, The IMF Joint Bank-Fund Library, National Agricultural Library, National Library of Education, NOAA Central Library and Regional Libraries, and USAID Library and Knowledge Services Center. LAC Federal's services range from supporting specific functions at these entities to managing and staffing the whole institution.
