Vassar College has been part of the Federal Depository Library Program since 1943. In 1973, we became a selective depository, reducing the number of publications we receive to about 30% of the publications distributed through the FDLP. Our collection strengths are women, labor, international relations, U.S. demographics, legislation, and public policy.
80% of our government documents collection is online. The majority of our physical collection, which includes print, microfilm, CD/DVD/videocassette and more, is located in the on the ground floor of the Thompson Memorial Library in Stack 1.
