Damn near everything that is related to the US in some way, from historical government documents to public domain things like photos, videos, music and other media from the well documented to the totally obscure.
http://www.loc.gov/index.html Their website is pretty chock full of things too.
“The Library serves as the research arm of Congress and is recognized as the national library of the United States. Its collections comprise the world’s most comprehensive record of human creativity and knowledge. Open to those age 16 and older without charge or special permission, it is the world’s largest library and a great resource to scholars and researchers.”
Library of Congress FAQs
Just like any library. Books, documents, records, except a whole lot of them. The world’s greatest place to go to find out what, where, and when.
