GATT Digital Library Launched

STANFORD, CA -- April 19, 2005

Stanford University Libraries and Academic Information Resources (SULAIR), and the World Trade Organization (WTO), today announce the public release of the GATT Digital Library, http://gatt.stanford.edu/. This online library, part of a cooperative effort between SULAIR and the WTO, provides access to documents of, and information about, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), a treaty that preceded the WTO and which promoted international commerce and the reduction of trade barriers among its Contracting Parties from 1947-1994.

Built, hosted, and maintained by SULAIR, the GATT Digital Library is a unique collection of source material vital to the study of the economic, political and diplomatic history of the latter half of the 20th century. As such, it will be of interest to a broad range of communities, including scholars, non-governmental organizations, commercial entities, as well as national and intergovernmental agencies.
