Government Documents as Primary Resources

Stanford's sizeable collection of government documents are mostly housed in the Jonsson Library of Government Documents, located in Green Library. 

United States Federal Documents include presidential papers, congressional documents, U.S. Census, FBI files on microfilm, the microfiche series of declassified documents, the National Security Archive series and technical reports of the Atomic Energy Commission.

International Governmental Organizations' publications include those of the United Nations, particularly those of specialized agencies such as the World Bank, UNESCO and OECD. Documents from other IGOs include those of the International Maritime Organization, the International Civil Aviation Organization and the World Trade Organization, as well as those from regional IGOs such as the Organization of American States.

Spend some time investigating the sites to learn more about these fabulous resources. However, don't exclude the many other libraries on campus which also have primary resources amidst their collections. In case you missed it in the previous module, here's another chance to become familiar with the many libraries at Stanford.
