Say what you want about Congress, but they run a great library.

So we got this email the other day from (ahem) the Library of Congress:

     The United States Library of Congress has selected your website for inclusion in the 
     historic collection of Internet materials related to the American Civil War 
     Sesquicentennial.

      The Library of Congress preserves the Nation’s cultural artifacts and provides 
      enduring access to them. The Library’s traditional functions, acquiring, cataloging, 
      preserving and serving collection materials of historical importance to the Congress 
      and the American people to foster education and scholarship, extend to digital 
      materials, including websites.

      The following URL has been selected for archiving: citylitcivilwar.blogspot.com

      We request your permission to collect your website and add it to the Library's research 
      collections.

We've said yes, of course.
