British Government Document Collection

The Honnold/Mudd library of the Claremont Colleges has a large collection of publications from the government of Great Britain. There are 17th century documents such as the Journals of the Huse of Lords (in Special Collections); Calendar of State Papers; Manuscript Collections; Hansard's Debates, and many others. The documents are not cataloged in the library catalog, Blais, except for some of the Indexes. Most of the collection is in paper and is housed on the first floow of the Mudd building in a temperature moderated area.

There are also documents on microcard, but these are being replaced by scanned online versions available from the British government at no cost. There are resources scattered around on microfilm, microfich, microcard and on CD-ROM. In general it is a difficult to use collection and requires the assistance of a librarian.
