Library of Congress Subject Headings
What is a subject heading and why is it important to searching for mixed race materials? After a book is published, it is cataloged and tagged with Library of Congress (LOC) subject terms so that researchers looking for these materials can find everything that has been tagged with these terms. If you know the subject terms that indexers use to tag books on a given topic, then you can do a very targeted search on that topic in the Library's catalog.
Use these subject terms to search the Library's catalog to find books and other materials on mixed race topics:
