Congress bought Jefferson's library in 1815 and it became the foundation of the Library of Congress after much of the first collection was fired by the British. In 1851 a fire destroyed about 2/3 of the items. LOC has been working for years to obtain replacement volumes to reassemble the library. The fruits of their efforts are now on public display.
