CCNY Reference Resources: Government Documents Division

Government Documents Division

The City College of New York became a Federal documents depository in 1884. The primary mission of the depository collection is to reflect and support the research and teaching needs of the students, faculty and staff of the CCNY community, as well as the government document needs of the residents of the 15th Congressional District of New York. Depository items are selected based on a combination of current and anticipated usage, format and timeliness. CCNY currently selects 51% of the Federal depository documents available and we hold depository material in all available formats, including paper, microforms, maps and electronic materials. The bulk of CCNY's Federal documents are kept in the college's main library, (the Cohen Library), though documents of scientific interest are shelved in our Science/Engineering Library.

Documents are included in our online catalogue (CUNY + ) and the City College document collections are available to patrons during all the hours the libraries are open. Our government documents collection is a reference-only collection and documents do not circulate. Members of the public who wish to use any of CCNY's government documents are welcome at any time the libraries are open.

Roe v. Wade

"A Pregnant Single Woman (Roe) Brought a Class Action challenging the Constitutionality of the Texas Criminal Abortion Laws which prescribe Procuring or Attempting an Abortion except on Medical Advice for the Purpose of Saving the Mother's Life. ... A Three-Judge District Court ... declared the Abortion Statutes Void as vague and overbroadly infringing those Plantiffs' Ninth and Fourteenth Amendment Rights"

(The District Court's decision was then appealed to the Supreme Court.)
"We find it unnecessary to decide whether the District Court erred in withholding Innunctive Relief, for we assume the Texas Prosecutorial Authorities will give full Credence to this Decision that the Present Criminal Abortion Statutes of that State are Unconstitutional."

"The Judgment of the District Court as to Intervenor Hallford is Reversed, and Dr. Hallford's Complaint in Intervention is Dismissed in all other Respects, the Judgement of the District Court is Affirmed."
(Above from Roe v Wade - The Decision [see below])

U.S. Bankruptcy Courts

"Federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction over bankruptcy cases. Bankruptcy cases cannot be filed in state court. Each of the 94 federal judicial districts handles bankruptcy matters. The primary purposes of the law of bankruptcy are: (1) to give an honest debtor a "fresh start" in life by relieving the debtor of most debts, and (2) to repay creditors in an orderly manner to the extent that the debtor has property available for payment."

Brown v. Board of Education - 1954

See also: Civil Rights
See also: Desegregation

"On May 17, 1954, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Earl Warren delivered the unanimous ruling in the landmark civil rights case Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas. State-sanctioned segregation of public schools was a violation of the 14th amendment and was therefore unconstitutional. This historic decision marked the end of the "separate but equal" precedent set by the Supreme Court nearly 60 years earlier in Plessy v. Ferguson and served as a catalyst for the expanding civil rights movement during the decade of the 1950s."
