Celebrating 100th Anniversary of the UVA Library as a Federal Depository


Our regional depository library, the University of Virginia's Alderman Library, celebrates its centennial as a federal government depository library this year.

They are mounting an exhibit entitled “An Army of 100,000,000”: Celebrating 100 Years of Government Information at U.Va. "It focuses on World War I and how GPO together with the Committee on Public Information urged the American public to support our allies, our soldiers, and the war effort. It features WWI posters, some of which were in our depository collection prior to being transferred to Special Collections." (from GOVDOC-VA).

Please see their online press release together with a few of their posters at http://www2.lib.virginia.edu/press/govdocs/.

Congratulations!
