The Nebraska Library Commission has created digital reproductions of some
materials in its Archives and State Documents collections.
The Library Commission Archives are
located at the Nebraska Library Commission,
houses materials about the history and operations of the Commission and the
libraries it has served since the agency's creation in 1901. The collection
includes Commission biennial and annual reports, newsletters, documents
related to Commission programs and departments, and photographs. The
collection is available for use according to our
Policies and Guidelines for Using Archival Materials at the Nebraska Library
Commission.
Some publications in the Nebraska Documents Collection have
been digitized and posted to the
Nebraska State
Government Publications Online web site as part of the
Nebraska
Publications Clearinghouse Program.
The materials housed in these collections may be protected under Title 17
of the United States Copyright Law. The Library Commission may not own the
copyright or intellectual rights. Permission to use is given by Nebraska

reproductions created by the Nebraska Library Commission should
