Locating Government Documents

As you write your op-eds and policy papers, it may be useful to access U.S. government documents. Government documents include any official publication of the U.S. government. This includes:

  • Records of Congressional Hearings
  • Laws
  • Publications of individual departments
  • Reports
  • Maps
  • ...and much, much more

 

Unfortunately, Knox College is not a federal depository. Luckily, many documents published in recent years are available online. To search them, try searching the Government Publishing Office's catalog. You can also search for sites on government domains by adding site:.gov to your search.
