Hearing

@lizzo

play some of the Library's priceless antique instruments on Monday was such a gift, and we were honored and happy to help her share that gift with her concert audience Tuesday night. Here is some more behind-the-scenes footage of her Library tour. #LizzoAtLOC

One of the most beloved free-to-use photos in the Library's collection is of Brünnhilde, for obvious reasons. We're happy to report that 2023 comes with a freshly digitized photograph of Brünnhilde from another angle.

More of our free-to-use photos: go.loc.gov/mlqO50MhxCu

Black and white photograph shows side view of a cat wearing a winged helmet and breastplate armor in the role of the valkyrie Brünnhilde from the opera Der Ring des Niebelungen. 1936.

You didn't think

played that antique flute on stage without practicing first, did you? She visited the Library Monday & played several of the flutes in our collection, which is the largest in the world. #LizzoAtLOC See & hear more from her visit: blogs.loc.gov/loc/2022/09/it

Many of you following along with #LizzoAtLOC were surprised that the Library has a flute vault. We are the largest Library in the world & home to more than 173 million objects, so there are many more surprises like that in our collections. Enjoy this thread of just a few of them.

FYI:

concerts aren't the only place to hear the Library's classic instruments played live. Opportunities to experience our Stradivari & other antiques like the 1654 Nicolò Amati violin are coming up during the (FREE) fall Concert Series! #LizzoAtLOC go.loc.gov/Rf3u50KWmPl

We just did a DNA test. Turns out: It's 100% that [crystal] flute

@lizzo

played at her D.C. stop on the #SpecialTour tonight. It's safe & sound back at the Library now. Thank you

@CapitolPolice

for escorting it. Watch this space for more from Lizzo's Library visit. #LizzoAtLOC

A flute

@lizzo

played in the Main Reading Room Monday (with permission from some lucky researchers who were there!) looks similar to the crystal one she had at her concert, but is actually plexiglass. It is also very rare & was manufactured when the material was first invented.

For those concerned about the flute: Music Division curators made sure it could be played without damage. This sort of thing is not all that unusual, in fact. Some of the Library's priceless instruments were donated with the stipulation that they remain functional & be played.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was originally created as a promotion for Montgomery Ward. He first appeared in a 1939 book & later in this 1948 film. As far as we know, the Library has the only complete version of the original release. The full film: go.loc.gov/Gchl50Mbohp

70+ years after the Civil War, the WPA Federal Writers' Project began interviewing elderly Americans who remembered being enslaved. This collection is at the Library & this narrative from Sarah Gudger, age 121, is just one amazing piece of it. go.loc.gov/j1ZG50OM6op #Juneteenth

A portrait of an elderly Black woman, Sarah Gudger, who was reportedly 121 years old at the time the photo was taken to accompany the narrative she shared with the Federal Writers' Project. Her hair is short and white, her hands are in her lap with her fingers laced together and she is looking into the distance, to the left of the camera (her right). Her tattered shawl is safety-pinned together under her neck.

Most silent-era film productions have been lost to time & hardly *any* material shot by Black filmmakers pre-1920 has survived. But recently, the earliest known footage produced by a Black film company was found, hiding in plain sight, in our collections. go.loc.gov/VNWH50L1gre

We were about $6,999,999 short on funding for a Super Bowl ad with this same message, but maybe if everyone shares it, we will reach the same number of people?

The Library always stands ready to assist when a new Congress convenes. This week we pulled materials from our collections for Congress members to be sworn in with. Here's a behind-the-scenes look from our comic book vault.

A flower for Tina. This 1962 Ernest Withers photo of Tina Turner, currently on display at the Library's Not An Ostrich photography exhibition, is larger than life. Just like she was. May she rest in peace.

Among many other treasures, the Library's Rare Book and Special Collections Division has the contents of President Abraham Lincoln's pockets when he was assassinated. We also hold the papers of 23 presidents, from Washington to Coolidge, all digitized. go.loc.gov/mcq950KXbSi

When Abraham Lincoln was shot at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C. on April 14, 1865, he was carrying two pairs of spectacles and a lens polisher, a pocketknife, a watch fob, a linen handkerchief, a brown leather wallet containing a five-dollar Confederate note, and eight newspaper clippings.
