LLMC Content Update

A recent LLMC newsletter provides information regarding content updates they've made in the past year or so. Some of the main updates have been summarized below:

LLMC has been working to identify and fill any gaps in their historical primary law collections, primarily for the jurisdictions of Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. In the last few months, LLMC has added hundreds of provincial Canadian and Australian state titles/volumes, filled gaps of older session law volumes, and added historical statute compilations to their collection.

In their Foreign Official Gazette (FOG) collection, they have been adding volumes for three to four countries each month. Some of the FOGs added include those from the countries of Belize, Benin, Colombia, Dominica, Ethiopia, French Polynesia, Guinea, Jordan, Malawi, Mali, Malta, Mozambique, Namibia, Norway, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, and Zambia. LLMC is presently working on collections from Guyana, New Caledonia, Gibraltar, Bangladesh, and Barbados.

LLMC is getting very close to completing their Early State Records (ESR) project. The past several months have seen hundreds of titles coming through that are handwritten manuscripts, from this collection. Fewer than 60 titles remain to be cataloged and made available.

Several years ago, LLMC received four large hard drives of legal titles from Germany’s Staatsbibliothek. They have steadily been working on adding these titles, and have recently finished the first two drives, which contain single-volume monographs. These titles are available in the Germany Federal & State collections. The last two drives contain multi-volume monographs and the 6,000 titles remaining are projected to be completed and available by the end of 2025.

LLMC collaborated with the South Texas College of Law to digitize the Houston Mutiny/Riots Collection. This collection consists of records concerning one of the largest race riots in American history in 1917 at Camp Logan, in Houston, Texas. LLMC is in the final stages of collating the remaining miscellaneous documents in this collection, with a goal of having this collection completely available by September 2025.
