LC Copyright Office is 140 today

Continuing yesterday's library history theme:
On July 8, 1870 President Ulysses S. Grant signed into law the bill centralizing all the functions of copyright in the Library of Congress. There is an interesting post about this on the Library History Buff Blog. By the way, before you read the History Buff Blog post you should know that Ainsworth Rand Spofford, was born in Gilmanton, N.H.
