    GODORT is turning 50 in 2022, but government information has been around for much longer! We are inviting people to submit their library's or their state's earliest (or most interesting) documents to be included in a story map. These items can come from any level of government. This is a fun way to promote collections and institutional efforts to keep this information accessible. You can submit one or more item.

    What we need:

    • Title
    • Author
    • Date
    • link to a digital version, image file, or a link to the item in your catalog
    • A brief description of the item, this can include why you chose the item or why it is important/interesting
    • Your institution and a link to your website
    • Your name (optional).

    Entries will be added to Our Early Publications

    If you use google you can submit your entries here.

    Or email Susanne.caro@ndsu.edu
