The American Congress Digital Archives Portal is a collaborative, non-partisan project that makes congressional archives available online, bringing the history of the People’s Branch to the people. The Portal provides open access to archival materials and the descriptive information (metadata) about those materials.
The legislation collection includes records for every bill and resolution introduced in the U.S. Congress since 1973 (93rd Congress), every amendment introduced or submitted since 1981 (97th Congress), every bill and joint resolution that became public or private law from 1951 (82nd Congress) to 1972 (92nd Congress), and some bills and joint resolutions from 1799 (6th Congress) to 1873 (42nd Congress). Bills and joint resolutions from 1799 to 1874 is not a full collection of all measures introduced and considered during those Congresses.
Includes member biographies, committee assignments, voting records, financial data, and the full-text of regulatory and statutory resources - bills, laws, debates, hearings, reports, documents, committee prints, legislative histories, federal regulations.
