The Library of the Congress of Mexico ((スペイン語:Biblioteca del H. 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 shut down by the Reform Laws of the 19th century. Since then, this building has been used as government offices, barracks and even a cantina. 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. ==Poor Clare convent== The land in this area was donated in 1568 by the Antonio Sanchez family for the construction of a convent. The convent was constructed for an order of Poor Clare nuns and the institution began with six members.〔〔 〕 The first church was finished in 1661. It was classified as part of the Baroque architectural movement but very austere, nearly Herrerian.〔 In 1677, a fire destroyed this church. It was rebuilt as a public church and named the Purísima Concepción church in 1730. This church would remain intact from then until the 19th century. The walls and buttress were made of tezontle. The facade, pilasters, arches, vaults and cupola of sandstone with stairs made of granite. The altars were of marble separated from the rest of the church by ironwork railings.〔
