Library of Congress Classification

The Library of Congress Classification (LCC) is a system of library classification developed by the Library of Congress. It is used by most research and academic libraries in the U.S. and several other countries. It is not to be confused with the Library of Congress Subject Headings or Library of Congress Control Number. Most public libraries and small academic libraries continue to use the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC).

Although it divides subjects into broad categories, it is essentially enumerative in nature. It provides a guide to the books actually in the library, not a classification of the world.

• A - General Works

• B - Philosophy, Psychology, Religion

• C - Auxiliary Sciences of History

• D - History, General and Old World

• E - History of America

• F - Local History of the United States and British, Dutch, French, and Latin America

• G - Geography, Anthropology, Recreation

• H - Social Sciences

• N - Fine Arts

• P - Language and Literature
