West Europe
The West European Collection forms a large part of the institution's overall holdings. From its beginning, it concentrated on the acquisition of special materials such as parliamentary debates; reports of ministries; documents on foreign affairs; and monographic literature in the diverse European languages in the fields of history, politics and government, economics, and international relations. A particularly strong commitment has existed through the years to documenting of mass movements such as communism, fascism, and national socialism. Collecting has emphasized archives, newspapers and periodicals, and publications of various interest and pressure groups. The West European Collection consists of approximately 350,000 books in the various Western languages; 3,000 periodical and newspaper titles, of which 535 are currently received; 15,000 pamphlets; 20,000 posters; and more than 800 archival units.
