About the State Documents Depository Program
The Arkansas State Documents Depository and The State and Local Government Publications Clearinghouse programs are mandated by A.C.A §§ 13-2-210 – 13-2-214, enacted by Act 489 of 1979.
The State Documents Depository maintains a central, permanent, and publicly accessible collection of state documents and publications housed at the Arkansas State Library. The State and Local Government Publications Clearinghouse program provides access to these publications on a local level by distributing copies of the documents to a statewide network of designated state depository libraries.
The depository program provides:
- Maintenance and retention of state documents in a permanent, central collection
- Availability of state documents at local community levels through the distribution of documents to designated state depository libraries
- Preparation of bibliographic records to provide access to the collection
- Reference services for state government and the public to assist in accessing state government information
