HIST 2302 / HIST 3301/6303: Historian's Craft / Historical Methods (Govt Docs)

Generally, a search in the online catalog will not point you to resources within many of the sets in the Government Documents unit of the Cornette Library.

Many of these sets may be browsed by date or searched using their print indexes.

The papers of FDR are not included in the series Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States..  The papers of Franklin Delano Roosevelt were published privately, before the Government Printing Office began the series.  The 13 FDR volumes are available in the Loan Shelves of the Cornette Library.
