Congress in the Stanford Libraries
The Stanford University Libraries congressional related collection
includes publications by and about the United States Congress.
The library has been a federal depository library since 1895 and
has also systematically collected non-depository documents including
substantial microform sets. Primary sources include full text of
congressional bills/resolutions both passed and not passed, congressional
committee hearings/testimonies, prints, documents and reports,
floor debates, proceedings, journals, directories and biographies,
manuals, election and voting data, and publications of the congressional
support agencies. Official documents include those issued by the
full congress, the committees, and the legislative, executive and
judicial bodies. The collection also includes materials issued
by political parties, and legislators as individuals or as group
members.
This information is available in print, microforms, audiovisuals, maps, computer
tapes, cdroms, and databases. Bibliographic access is provided through the
online databases. Many of these database include full text documents. In additional,
the library provides access through separate print, microform, and cdrom indexes.
The Stanford Libraries maintains a strong collection of secondary source materials
on and about the congress and its members in all formats. These sources include
bibliographies, biographies, books, data, dictionaries, encyclopedias and almanacs,
handbooks, indexes, journals and periodicals, maps, and newspapers. Most publications
are listed in Socrates.
