Observations on state documents
Daniel,
I know that you have a strong interest in state documents, and thought you might be interested in a number of postings on Minnesota state documents on our Minnesota Legislative Reference Library website.
Several of the recent entries on the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library's blog-like main library web page (http://www.leg.state.mn.us/lrl/lrl.asp) highlight state documents - both old and new. Recently we were amazed to learn that older consultants reports that never circulated from our collection were checked out once we transferred them to a storage facility and added the records to the catalog of the University of Minnesota. We are routinely asked for reports created in the pre-digital age, and we actively scan older state documents. Our favorite requests for those come from state agency personnel are along the lines of, "Do you have (X) document? So-and-so retired and he had the only one."
