Pitt to receive large collection of European Union documents

The University of Pittsburgh's library system will receive what is believed to be North America's largest collection of European Union and European Community public documents and publications. The library system plans to digitize a large portion of the collection and upload it to the Internet as part of the school's Archive of European Integration, an online archive and repository. The collection also will be available at Pitt's Hillman Library.

The university expects to receive the collection in late June or early July from the European Commission delegation in Washington, D.C., which recently decided to donate the materials to the school. Phil Wilkin, Pitt's University Library System bibliographer for West European Studies, said the number of documents in the collection was difficult to determine, but that it would occupy between 3,300 and 3,500 feet of shelf space.
