Historic Documents of 1998 is Volume 27 in the celebrated Historic Documents series -- the series that makes primary source research easy for historians, researchers, students, and interested lay readers alike. This is a collection of nearly 100 important documents issued during 1998, each preceded by an introductory essay that captures the crucial events of 1998 as reflected in the year's most significant documents: the legislation, speeches, essays, and reflections that made history. Documents are arranged chronologically and are accompanied by explanatory introductions to help readers understand the context and implications of each document. For experienced researchers and students alike, a detailed table of contents and a cumulative five-year index provide easy access to information. Abundant cross-referencing and comprehensive entries make the Historic Documents Index the perfect tool for researchers who need a longer historical perspective to track issues.
