The collection is composed of many types of material, including foreign dissertations, monographs, newspapers, periodicals, official publications, pamphlets, political ephemera, manuscripts and archives, as well as miscellaneous materials. Each of these formats is described, including examples and information on access. Bibliogr., notes, sum. in English and French. |
