          Historical Note on LCC
          • In the late 1890s the collection at LC was
            almost 1 million items and a new building was
            under construction.

            Many different shelf
            arrangements were being used. In 1897 Charles
            Martel, chief classifier in the Catalogue
            Division between 1897 and 1911, oversaw the
            development of a new system that was adequate for
            the rapidly growing collections.

            After examining
            existing classifications including Dewey and
            Cutters Expansive Classification, Martel and his
            committee decided to create their own
            classification schedules.

          Historical Note on LCC 2
          • The first schedule, Class Z, bibliography and the
            book arts was published in a preliminary edition
            in 1898 so that the bibliographical materials to
            organize the rest of the collection could be done
            first.
