Collections
United
States Government
The University Library, designated as a Federal depository
in 1910, accepted appointment as Regional Library
for the Commonwealth in 1969. During this time, the
Library has amassed a sizable collection consisting
of almost 1.3 million paper documents, 1.5 million
microforms, and over 140,000 maps. In print format
the historical collections extend back well into the
19th century and include many reports of government-sponsored
scientific and ethnographic explorations. The Library
also owns large comprehensive collections of microforms
such as Congressional Information Service's Congressional
Committee Hearings, 1833-1946, Presidential Executive
Orders and Proclamations, 1789-1983, and the entire
nineteenth Congressional Serial Set. Other significant
collections of note include NASA technical reports
and many publications of the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA). Recent documents are available in CD-ROM
or other electronic formats. See also the GIR Collections
Policy.
