Legislative Archives
The Center for Legislative
Archives is
located in the National Archives building in Washington DC and is part of
the National Archives and Records Administration. This Center is a repository
and reference service for archival documents of the United States Congress
beginning with the First Congress. Since the First Congress in 1789, the
records of the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate have documented
the history of the legislative branch. These records remain the legal property
of the House and Senate, but are preserved and made available by the Center
for Legislative Archives.
The records from the committees of the House of Representatives are included
in Record Group 233; the Senate records are in Record Group 46; the joint committees
are in Record Group 128.

Members' Archives
The official records of the Congress are part of the Center for Legislative
Archives. The personal and private papers of members are deposited in various
institutions. Although some members deposit their papers in the National Archives,
many members designate their papers to go institutions within their home states.
