College Composition / Unit 21 CMP 0512 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Government Documents and Archives
Captions available
The idea
Government documents and archives are further places to find sources, including primary documents not available elsewhere.
In practice
Libraries offer access to government publications, special collections and archives, and interlibrary loans for materials they do not hold.
Where people slip
Archival sources often need more context to interpret than a published article.
