Government Information

The Williams College Libraries has been a United States Federal Depository Library since 1858. We are committed to providing access to U.S. government information to the Williams community and beyond.

Our special strengths are our comprehensive holdings in U.S. Congressional publications. To augment our depository collections, the Williams College Libraries also purchased access to the digital full-text of the Congressional Serial Set (1789-1969), Congressional hearings and prints (1830-present), and Congressional Research Service Reports (1916-present). We also hold Census documents from the earliest (1790) to the present. more

U.S. government documents resources available at Williams are organized by the type of information they provide (at left). For help accessing the collection, see our guides (at right) or contact Rebecca Ohm, Reference and Gov't Documents Librarian.
