American History Research at the Library of Congress

There are  over 22 Reading/research Room at the Library Congress. The American history collection is a "hidden" treasure. For American history researchers, they have to start from the Main Reading Room and FInd out what information is in the Room. Then,... most likely they will have to  "narrow" down their research - local history and genealogy research. Or they simply go to the Natoinal Archives to do their research.

Surprise? Yes. I would think that the Library of Congress will has a division of American History. But... it doesn't. ("sigh")
