  The library's previous scope, 1900-1940, focusing on English fandoms, was too narrow to be useful to many people. To that end, the library is being expanded to focus on 1840-1945, non-fandom specific, including origfic.

And hit up Ask The Librarian for any questions!  Members, the mod has limited information about history before 1900, so please post entries regarding earlier times. Everyone will appreciate it.
