Federal documents in microform and electronic (CD-ROM)
formats |
|
Other non-depository government related documents are temporarily stored in microform cabinets adjacent to Isle B1 and Room B30. They consist of small to large microform sets which include the predecessors of the Congressional Record-the Annals of Congress (1789-1824), Register of Debates (1824-1837), and the Congressional Globe (1833-1873). Treaty materials such as the Department of State Treaty Series (1927-1945), League of Nations Treaty Series (1920-1946), United Nations Treaty Series (1946-1974), and the United States Department of State Bulletin (1939-1981) are among these holdings. The microforms collection is further augmented with full sets of attorney general opinion and sessions laws for most states, CIS legislative microfiche collection (1970 - ), Supreme Court Records and Briefs (1935 - ), Statues-at-Large (1789-1976), selected 19th century appellate cases, legal periodicals and many others.
There are also three public access microform readers for viewing government documents in micro-formats. The Minolta MS 6000 digital Scanner/Printer located in the GDMD office (B30) is the main machine used to print microform. |
