Pollak Library owns a significant number of volumes of British Parliamentary Papers from the 19th Century. They are shelved in the Main Collection and in Reference. They are not all shelved in one place in the Library but rather have been cataloged and shelved by the subjects covered in the specific sets of volumes. Therefore, different volumes will be shelved on different floors.

The following types of documents are authorized by Parliament and bound into the series of volumes known as the Parliamentary Papers:

(1) Public Bills. All bills introduced into the House of Commons or brought from the House of Lords.
(2) Reports of committees (Standing and Select committees of the House of Commons, Joint committees).
(3) Reports of commissioners (Royal Commissions, departmental committees).
(4) Accounts and Papers. The Command Papers and the Debates, listed below, are additional sources of information.
