Congressional Record Permanent Digital Collection
The ProQuest® Congressional Record Permanent Digital Collection is a digitized version of the bound edition of the Congressional Record and its predecessor publications, the Annals of Congress (1789-1824), the Register of Debates of Congress (1824-1837), and the Congressional Globe (1824-1837). The Congressional Record is the official record of the proceedings, debates, and activities of Congress. Although the Record contains a substantially verbatim account of the proceedings and debate, it also contains extensive inserted materials, communications for the president and executive agencies, memorials, and petitions. The Digital Record includes the Congressional Record from the 43rd Congress (1873-1875) through the first session of the 105th Congress (1997). Additional content will be added as GPO releases additional volumes, but no content will be added for any year until the GPO index volume for that year has been published.
The Digital Record includes indexing, bibliographic information, and searchable PDFs for each day of publication. You can search it alone or in conjunction with other congressional information in the ProQuest® Congressional product suite.
