Government Gazettes Online
Government
Gazettes, which are published by federal governments worldwide, are the means
through which
the government can communicate to officials and the general
public. Although most countries publish
a gazette, their regularity and
content varies widely, which is noted in the description of each gazette.
Gazettes are useful not only to monitor the actions of the government, but also
as primary source documentation in research.
This website
attempts to list all online government gazettes and their characteristics to aid
researchers. A description of the contents and coverage are included for each
gazette. Anyone wishing to do further research on foreign law will find useful
resources in the bibliography.
If you know of
further gazettes that can be found online or would like to offer comments and
questions, please
email us at: graceyor@umich.edu.
Acknowledgments
This project
began through a project for the University of Michigan School of Information Alternative Spring
Break, in which Anthony Davis and Caroline Crouse worked at the Dag Hammersköld Library at
the United Nations for one week looking for online gazettes so that the library
could weed their collection. We would like to thank our supervisor and the staff
at the United Nations for the opportunity to work on this project, as well as
Maurita Holland and the School of Information for giving us the opportunity to
participate in Alternative Spring Break. Thank you to the Library of Congress
for allowing us to use the book "A guide to official gazettes and their
contents" for a reference to the contents of the gazettes. Finally, thank
you to Grace York, former head of the Documents Center at the University of Michigan
for helping us develop this final product and hosting it on the Documents Center
site.
