Seventy-Five Years as a Federal Depository Library
The UCLA Library is currently celebrating its seventy-fifth year as a Federal Depository. The Library was designated as a depository library by U.S. Senator Samuel Shortridge in 1932, when UCLA was only in its fourth year on the Westwood campus. The main objective of the depository program is to ensure that all members of the general public have easy, free access to government information in all formats.
To commemorate this milestone, a December exhibit in the Charles E. Young Research Library highlighted many of the important federal materials that have been received through the depository program as well as the original documentation for the Library's designation as a depository.
Further information on the Library's holdings of depository documents and about the depository program is available on the following Web sites:
