Update on Digitizing the Federal Register

We’re excited to share with you our progress digitizing the Federal Register with the Government Publishing Office (GPO). Since our last report, GPO has:

  • Completed  the preparation of the Federal Register material for digitization: Over 15,376 issues, indexes, and codification guidelines were processed, contained within 299 boxes. An additional 105 replacement issue copies have been found and prepared for digitization.
  • Requested Federal Register issues that are still needed from the depository libraries.

The Federal Depository Library Program published an article on this project entitled Digitizing the Historic Federal Register.  We thank  Suzanne Ebanues and Heidi Ramos of GPO for all their hard work to get the pre-1994 issues of the Federal Register digitized!
