New from the Thurgood Marshall Law Library at the University of Maryland (GPO Depository Library):

From the GPO announcement:

As the Nation pauses to remember the achievements of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the United States Government Printing Office (GPO) teams up with the United States Commission on Civil Rights (USCCR) and the Thurgood Marshall Law Library, University of Maryland School of Law, to provide the American public a website of authentic Civil Rights historical publications.

“GPO is honored to be participating in this project,” said Judith Russell, Superintendent of Documents. “This is an example of GPO’s mission to improve service to the public and assure permanent access to digital collections.”

The Thurgood Marshall Law Library, which is a GPO Federal Depository Library, has been scanning hundreds of historical Civil Rights publications to make this digital collection possible. These documents are provided by USCCR. With a couple strokes of the keyboard, Americans can access Civil Rights documents such as The Civil Rights Act. These documents are accessible at:
