State Government Information (Michigan)

In January 2003 the Hekman Library became a depository for Michigan documents and we inherited a collection of state documents from the previous five years. The collection is currently housed at the end of the federal documents collection, and it contains many statistical publications. Listed below are some online sources for Michigan government information.
