Publications included in the Basic Collection are vital sources of information that support the public’s right to know about the workings and essential activities of their Federal Government. The list of titles constituting the Basic Collection was first developed in 1977 to identify the most basic Federal publications for inclusion in depository collections. This list has been periodically updated since then.
