The microform collections of CAMP form a large pool of
historical, political, linguistic, economic and geographical
data and primary source materials that are not available
elsewhere. Many of the sets contain archival material or
large collections of material that do not lend themselves
to traditional analytic cataloging.
This page describes various aspects of the CAMP collection,
including finding aids and collection guides. It represents
completed projects of the CAMP committee and will also archive
those projects taken off active consideration. This site
will be added to as resources become available.
This page does not represent the complete holdings of CAMP,
but is rather a representative description of some of the
items in the collection. For more details, please consult
the CRL CATALOG.
