| dbo:abstract | John Silva Meehan (* 6. Februar 1790 in New York City; † 24. April 1863 in Washington, D.C.) war der vierte Bibliothekar in der Library of Congress der Vereinigten Staaten. Er übte sein Amt von 1829 bis 1861 aus. Meehan war ein Drucker und Publizist, zugehörig der Demokratischen Partei, ernannt wurde er zum Bibliothekar des Kongresses vom Präsidenten Andrew Jackson. Er ersetzte auf diesem Posten seinen Vorgänger George Watterston, zugehörig der Whig Party, welcher sich Jackson widersetzte. Meehans Ausführung seines Amtes war eine konservative und er und seine Unterstützer im Kongress befürworteten eine Begrenzung der Größe der Bibliothek. Viele der Aufgaben eines Bibliothekars wurden anderen Regierungsagenturen übertragen. Als ein Feuer im Jahr 1851 35.000 Bände zerstörte, darunter zwei Drittel des Bestandes, der ursprünglich von Präsident Thomas Jefferson zur Verfügung gestellt wurde, stellte der Kongress finanzielle Mittel bereit für eine Wiederherstellung, welches aber nur für das Ersetzen von verlorenen Bänden eingesetzt wurde und nicht für den Ausbau der Bibliothek. Meehan selbst stellte eine kleinere Sammlung von Zeitschriften zur Verfügung für das Lesen durch die Kongressangehörigen, aus welcher sich unter späteren Bibliothekaren, eine eigene Abteilung für Zeitschriften entwickelte. Meehan diente während der Regierungsperioden neun verschiedener Präsidenten. Trotz Einwänden des Kongresses ersetzte Präsident Abraham Lincoln Meehan durch einen Unterstützer der Republikanischen Partei, John Gould Stephenson.

(fr) John Silva Meehan (6 February 1790 – 24 April 1863) was an American printer and publisher. He was the fourth Librarian of the United States Congress from 1829 to 1861. Meehan, a United States Democratic party member, was appointed Librarian of Congress by President Andrew Jackson, replacing in the post the Whig-activist George Watterston, who opposed Jackson. He and his congressional supporters advocated limits on the size of the library. Many of the library's functions were transferred to other government agencies. When a fire destroyed 35,000 volumes in 1851, including two-thirds of the materials originally provided by President Thomas Jefferson, the money provided by Congress for restoration was used solely for replacing lost materials and not for expansion. Meehan did provide a small collection of periodicals for congressional perusal which, under later librarians, became the periodicals division. Meehan served under nine presidents. Despite congressional opposition, President Abraham Lincoln replaced Meehan with a Republican supporter, John G. Stephenson.
