ABA Traveling Exhibit: Join In! The Rise of Self-Governance and American Organizing from the Mayflower Compact to the Modern Day
The ABA’s Standing Committee on the Law Library of Congress will mark the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower Compact with a new traveling exhibit, Join In! The Rise of Self-Governance and American Organizing from the Mayflower Compact to the Modern Day. Established in 1932, the Standing Committee on the Law Library of Congress serves as the Association’s connection to, and voice of the legal profession concerning the continued development and effective operation of the Law Library of Congress—the world’s largest law library with a collection of over 2.9 million volumes spanning all systems and periods of law and covering all the nations of the world.
Beginning with the Mayflower Compact and transitioning to the exploration of how American voluntary associations and civil societies are created, built, and sustained over time, the exhibit features content and commentary from the Law Library of Congress’s collections representing organizations from across the nation and across time. The exhibit examines the longstanding impulse of Americans to join together for a common purpose—to shape their society through fellowship, charitable and mutual aid, labor unions, emergency services, political reform, and community associations; and the tools they adopted to do so.
