The Law Library of Congress thanks GPO for its collaborative work in cataloging historical legal reports: “Thanks so much for finishing the Batch 1 reports—I’ve downloaded them from OCLC, merged them with our records in Voyager, and they are now viewable in our digital collection—which now has great things like subjects and name facets thanks to GPO!
