Olin Library Research Guides: HON 350S: From Sputnik to Space Force: State Publications

State Publications

While federal sources will be your chief governmental sources for this class, state sources are also useful. State libraries are a great source of state-level sources for most states.

Since we are in Florida, this guide will focus on Florida sources. Please ask Blake if you have any questions about state-level resources from Florida or any other state.
