• 55,000 pages of federal documents relating to the Covenant negotiations

• Documents relating to the Northern Marianas held in the collections of the ten post-World War II U.S. Presidents.

This workshop is open to the public at no expense. Learn about how you can acquire copies of these collections for community use. For more information, contact the Humanities Council at 235-4785. (PR)
