State Documents
Pennsylvania State Documents- the State Library has been a
collector of Pennsylvania Government documents from the beginning of its
history. The State Library under a Governor's mandate collects those documents
that are for the general public. This includes reports, magazines, educational
materials, brochures and a whole host of other types of printed materials. As
the world becomes more and more an electronic repository, links to the
electronic versions of these documents are available by looking in the State
Library's online catalog.
