Search Geography Understanding Call Numbers Reading To be able to efficiently read Library of Congress (LC) call numbers is quite a skill. This tutorial was created to help library users uncover the mysteries of call number reading. Let's start with a sample call number: Call numbers can begin with one, two, or three letters. The first letter of a call number represents one of the 21 major divisions of the LC System. In the example, the subject "Q" is Science. The second letter "E" represents a subdivision of the sciences, Geology. All books in the QE's are primarily about Geology. Books in categories E, United States History, and F, Local U.S. History and American History, do not have a second letter (exception: in Canada, FC is used for Canadian history). Books about Law, K's, can have three letters, such as KFH, Law of Hawaii. Some areas of history (D) also have three-letter call numbers.

The Library of Congress Congress Approves Nineteenth Amendment Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt After the 36th State Ratified, Prints and Photograph Division On June 4 , 1919, Congress, by joint resolution, approved the woman's suffrage amendment and sent it to the states for ratification. Earlier, the House had voted 304-89 and the Senate 56-25 in favor of the amendment. Disagreement on whether the best strategy was to pursue enfranchisement through a federal amendment or by individual state campaigns had divided the women's suffrage movement in 1869. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony worked for a federal amendment under the banner of the National Woman Suffrage Association, while Lucy Stone led the American Woman Suffrage Association's state-by-state battle for the vote. In 1890, the two groups united to form the National American Woman Suffrage Association . NAWSA combined both techniques to secure voting rights for all American women. A series of well-orchestrated state campaigns took place under the dynamic direction of Carrie Chapman Catt , while the new National Woman's Party, led by Alice Paul , used more militant tactics to obtain a federal amendment.
