History Channel teams with Library of Congress

A&E Television Networks' History brands, which include the History channel and its Web site, have teamed up with the Library of Congress on a multimedia partnership that will encompass on-air and online content.

The goal of the partnership -- which also reaches across History International, History en Espanol and Military History Channel -- is to bring the Library of Congress' collections to the "next generations of users" on the platform of their choice, be it mobile, broadband or in high-definition on History HD.

The partnership includes co-branded content on History.com as well as original specials and short- and longform historical documentary programming on the History channel. History also will produce a short film and new content for the new Library of Congress Experience, which opened April 12 in the Library's Thomas Jefferson Building and online at myLOC.gov.
