Controversial literature is a broad category, used, inter alia, by the Library of Congress, to identify imprints which lack scholarly value and/or are of a hateful nature; however, the material holds some secondary value or interest. For example, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, although of spurious nature, having been established to be a plagiarism, nevertheless have a historical interest as exhibiting the Warrant for Genocide. A further example is given by the term Antisemitica, which designates any literature of an Antisemitic nature. Also, any racist writing would also fall under such a heading - provide some librarian found such material of sufficient interest, or notoriety, to retain in its generally scholarly library.
