Government Documents and Microforms Department

Government Documents and Microforms Speaker Series

The Speaker Series events are designed to highlight a collection of materials that may be overlooked, but which often provides the primary source materials that scholars, students, and other professionals use in the course of their work. We also hope to provide a forum for discussion and for the exchange of ideas on a variety of topics.

To provide further information on each Speaker Series topic, the Government Documents and Microforms Department staff develop a brochure highlighting related materials. Since 1997, the events have also been videotaped for addition to the Library's permanent collection for further study and viewing.
