Library of the Congress of Mexico
The Library of the Congress of Mexico (Spanish: Biblioteca del Honorable Congreso de la Unión, formerly the Santa Clara Church) mostly contains the records of the country's legislative sessions since its Independence. It is located at 29 Tacuba Street, near the corner with Bolivar in the historic center of Mexico City. This structure was originally part of a Poor Clares convent founded in the 16th century, but was confiscated by the Reform Laws of the 19th century. Since then, this building has been used as government offices, barracks and even a canteen. It current use was established in 1962, when the Library of Congress was founded by the Mexican government. Since then, the archives it houses have outgrown the building and a number are housed at the Palacio Legislativo de San Lázaro as well.
