- toomuchtodo 6y agoI would encourage you to contact the LoC to express your dismay and your desire to see them improve: https://www.loc.gov/contact/ https://www.loc.gov/contact/ You will want to address your correspondence to Carla Hayden, the current Librarian of the LoC.

- toomuchtodo 6y agoThat is also a necessary effort, and I appreciate you pointing it out. My apologies for not enumerating in my above comment.
- aidenn0 6y agoI'm not. I think the LoC is a single point of failure for curation. No single institution is going to preserve everything, so having multiple institutions, public and private, is far better than relying on a single public institution to get things right.
