The National Library has a large collection of United States federal government information, received under an exchange arrangement with the Library of Congress from 1950 to 1994. We received approximately 10% of the USA's monthly output of official publications.
The collection is incomplete, and a great deal of it has not been catalogued. Please email Sarah Thomson, Government and Civic Literacy Curator, with any questions about our United States official publications holdings.
Famous Union battle flags.
