U.S. Government
UNC holds close to two million Federal and international documents, but not all of these are in the catalog. Still, the catalog is a great place to start your research, particularly for documents published after 1976. Use the Advanced Search page to limit the resource type to Government publications.
A few other useful sources for finding government information are below:
- ProQuest CongressionalIncludes Legislative Histories 1969-, Bills & Laws 1987-, Committee Prints 1817-, Congressional Record 1789-, CRS Reports 1916-, House & Senate Reports 1817 - and more.
- Proquest Legislative Insight Digital ArchiveProvides legislative histories that include PDFs of all relevant publications generated in the course of U.S. congressional lawmaking, including the Public Law itself, all versions of related bills, law-specific Congressional Record excerpts, committee hearings, reports and prints, Presidential signing statements, and CRS reports.
- Regulatory InsightThis companion to ProQuest Legislative Insight allows researchers to trace the history of regulations promulgated in conjunction with federal law.
- Social ExplorerProvides web-based access to United States Census data from 1790 to the present, and to other U.S. and international data, with the ability to make tables and interactive maps easily or export data for analysis. Data include the most commonly used variables and geographies.
