Hey #histodons @histodons and @histodon - Anybody have a good online link for this government document? I’ve only found physical books printed by private press, and I just don’t even understand how it’s not available online somewhere. (Any digital version is fine - this link is just for clarity. I’m looking for the transcript of the US House Rules Committee hearings on the KKK in October 1921.)

Details for: Hearings on the Ku Klux Klan, 1921. › John Bulow Campbell Library catalog

@erazlogo @histodons @histodon OMG This is perfect!!! Thank you! Ok - in the interest of trying to learn how to better find these things - how/where did you search for this? This is so awesome

@JeromeySims @histodons @histodon First, look for an out-of-copyright version of the book (1921 edition not 1969). Copyright-free and government publications are often on archive.org - search there first (your book wasn't there). GoogleBooks sometimes also includes full pdf of government publications but it did not in this case. Then just do web searches on variations of [title/author "pdf"] & see who else might have it. Library of Congress and HathiTrust are possible sites but there are others.

@erazlogo Again, thank you SO MUCH! This is a very good resource and I was really struggling to find something that I thought should be easily available. I’m adding your search method tips to my list of “to dos” when I’m on the hunt for hard sources!
