The Kluge Center encourages research that makes use of the Library’s collections. Interdisciplinary, cross-cultural or multilingual research is particularly welcome.

The Kluge Center was established in 2000 through an endowment of $60 million from John W. Kluge. Located in the Thomas Jefferson Building of the Library of Congress, the center was created to bring together the world’s best thinkers to stimulate and energize one another, to distill wisdom from the Library’s rich resources and to interact with policymakers in Washington.
