The Government Documents Department's collection contains a variety of documents and publications issued by federal, state, and local (Jefferson County and Birmingham) governments.

The Birmingham Public Library has been a Federal Depository Library since 1895, with the majority of the Department's federal material supplied by the United States Government Printing Office.

The Department is a Patent and Trademark Depository Library as well, containing resources relating to patents, trademarks, and copyrights.

The Government Documents Department also houses the Cooperating Collection of The Foundation Center of New York. This collection of publications and electronic resources provides information about non-profit grant making foundations in the United States. The 2006 core collection includes more than twenty titles.

In addition, the Department serves as an affiliate agency of the Alabama Data Center, which disseminates demographic information about the state of Alabama.
