This semester, the library upgraded its full-text legal collections from HeinOnline.

The database “U.S. Department of the Interior Collection” is now the American Indian Law Collection. It features serials, legislative histories, constitutions, acts,  by-laws, and other works related to the history of Native American policy in the United States from 1776 to the present.

The American Indian Law Collection contains all the full-text primary source documents that were in the former collection (items such as the American State Papers: Indian Affairs from 1789-1827, the Annual Report of the Commissioner of the Office of Indian Affairs to the Secretary of the Interior from 1838-1957, and the Decisions of the Department of the Interior: U.S. Department of the Interior from 1883-1995) as well as the eighteen-volume Charters, Constitutions and By-Laws of the Indian Tribes of North America, volumes 1-101 of the Decisions of the Department of the Interior, and additional legislative publications.

For more information, see HeinOnline’s informational brochure.
