The
National Archives is headquartered in
a building just north of the National Mall and houses thousands of documents important to American history, including the
Declaration of Independence, the
Constitution, and the
Bill of Rights. Located in three buildings on Capitol Hill, the
Library of Congress is the largest library complex in the world with a collection of more than 147million books, manuscripts, and other materials. The
United States Supreme Court is located immediately north of the Library of Congress. The
United States Supreme Court Building was completed in 1935; before then, the court held sessions in the
Old Senate Chamber of the Capitol.
