With support from the National Science Foundation, Jeffrey Segal, Harold Spaeth, and I have created this digital archive to house documents from the Harry A. Blackmun Papers located in the Library of Congress. In the archive now are preliminary [pool] memoranda and docket sheets from Justices Blackmun's years on the Rehnquist Court (1986-1993 terms). (To learn more about these documents, click on their names.)
