| Department of Commerce Publications |
While not a true comprehensive archive, this collection includes publications about the Department of Commerce and published by the Department of Commerce. Locating older internal reports and publications can be hit or miss, but the Annual Reports of the Secretary, Commerce Business Daily, technical manuals, exporting guides, and other assorted treasures can often fill in gaps in DOC research.
If you have materials in your office published by or about the Department of Commerce, please consider donating them to the collection to preserve them and keep them accessible for all DOC staff.
