The following is a message from the Historian, Special Projects Division, Office of the Historian, U.S. Department of State to all Federal depository libraries:

December 3, 2011 marks the 150th anniversary of the Foreign Relations of the United States (FRUS) series, the largest and most comprehensive series of its type in the world. First published in 1861, the series has become a leading example of governmental openness and embodies the U.S. Government’s commitment to responsible transparency. Over the past 150 years, FRUS evolved to become the official documentary history of U.S. foreign policy decision-making and major diplomatic activity. The series is prepared according to scholarly best practices under a 1991 Congressional mandate for “thorough, accurate, and reliable” coverage and timely release.

To mark the 150th anniversary of the FRUS series, the Office of the Historian at the U.S. Department of State has delved into the story of how the series evolved over time. This research engages many important themes in U.S. history, including the transformation of government institutions, changing conceptions of national security and transparency, and the increasingly important role that the United States has played in the world. Learn about the history of the series; research posts, videos, and original documents; as well as outreach efforts from the Office of the Historian.

The FRUS series now comprises more than 400 individual volumes. The current title, Foreign Relations of the United States, is distributed to Federal depository libraries in paper and electronic format under:

In the past, brochures and other literature has been distributed or available for order that promote GPO Access. Today, these flyers are either outdated or deprecated. These include:

• Authenticated Federal Government Documents
• Research Each Step in the Lawmaking Process Using GPO Access
• Explore Federal Rules and Regulations Using GPO Access
• U.S. Government Bookstore
• Easy as FDL

Updated brochures, which are designed to increase public awareness of the FDLP and GPO’s Federal Digital System (FDsys), can now be ordered, free of charge, by depositories through the FDLP Desktop. These full-color, 7” X 10” brochures are being offered in bundles of 25 copies. Up to 5 bundles may be ordered at one time.

In addition to ordering print brochures, high resolution PDF versions of the flyers, as well as the "How a Bill Becomes a Law" poster and flyer, are also available.

The new brochures are:

• FDsys: Federal Digital System: Describes the uses and capabilities of GPO’s Federal Digital System (FDsys).
• Track Federal Legislation in FDsys: Identifies primary legislative resources that can be found on FDsys and includes a brief description of each resource.
• Research Federal Rulemaking in FDsys: Identifies primary regulatory resources that can be found on FDsys and includes a description of each resource, along with a brief description of the regulatory process.
• Search the Catalog of U.S. Government Publications: Describes the uses and features of the Catalog of U.S. Government Publications (CGP), including information on searching by catalog. Features such as MetaLib are also detailed.
• Easy as FDL: Federal Depository Libraries: Informs the public about the FDLP and depository libraries. It describes the FDLP, instructs how to locate a local depository library, and also lists important web sites for accessing Government information.

In addition to replacing brochures that advertise GPO Access, depositories are asked to start replacing other references to GPO Access (e.g., Web references, presentation slides, speech points) with FDsys.
