New Book: Guide to Research in Federal Judicial History
We recently received Guide to Research in Federal Judicial History, a comprehensive guide to sources of judicial records, as part of the Federal Depository Library Program.
This resource describes the records of the federal courts themselves, as well as records of other branches of government that provide information about federal judicial history. These include records of Congress and executive branch agencies. Many of the records are held by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).
Record types range from case files to images of federal courthouses to personal records of federal judges.
