International Documents Collection

The International Documents Collection is one of the five collections that make up Northwestern University Library's Government and Geographic Information and Data Services Department. The collection contains the publications of approximately 25 intergovernmental organizations (IGOs), a few non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and supporting materials from private publishers. The collection spans the WWI era to the present. Gov Info has been a depository library of the United Nations since 1946, the European Union since 1970, and became a depository library of the World Tourism Organization in 2002.

The international documents librarian manages the collection and is available to provide instruction or assistance with international resources to groups or individuals.

Consultation and/or assistance in using the international collection is usually available Monday through Friday by appointment. For further information, please contact Chris Davidson
