The Consolidated Treaty Series is the only collection of bilateral and multilateral treaties from 1648 through 1919. It provides coverage for 270 years before the League of Nations set begins in 1918 and the United Nations collection begins in 1945. These treaties were collected from archives, and published as facsimile reproductions. A limited number of these bound set remains and there will not be another printing.
