The U.S. Congressional Serial Set, the bound, sequentially
numbered volumes of all the Reports, Documents, and Journals of the U.S.
Senate and House of Representatives, constitutes an incomparably rich
collection of primary source material on all aspects of American History.
Taken together with the American State Papers, the Serial Set covers 1789
up until the present day.
This month, you can try out online versions of the Serial
Set from two different publishers. Readex Publishing offers color maps
and has completed digitization up through the 20th Congress. Lexis Nexis
has integrated their historical Serial Set with current congressional
tools and has digitized up through the 35th Congress. Take them both for
a spin by visiting our trials page.
