The State Documents collection of the Missouri State Library is an invaluable source of statistical and general information about the State of Missouri and Missouri state agencies. The collection includes recent publications from almost all agencies of Missouri state government. There are more than 12,000 items in the collection, with approximately 1,000 items added each year. Included in the collection are the Executive budget for the State of Missouri, and current Missouri House and Senate bills.
Most documents are available for loan.
Every month the State Documents Office issues Missouri State Government Publications, a listing of new documents received by the State Library. These listings serve as an ongoing catalog to state publications. The state documents staff also coordinates the Missouri State Depository Library Program. Thirty-eight Missouri public and academic libraries , as well as the Missouri State Archives and the Library of Congress, receive Missouri state documents through this system.
