A Century of Lawmaking for a New Nation: U.S. Congressional Documents and Debates 1774-1873

A Century of Lawmaking for a New Nation consists of a linked set of published congressional records of the United States of America from the Continental Congress through the 42nd Congress. The online collection offers the records of the Continental Congress, the Constitutional Convention and ratification debates, and the first forty-two federal congresses, 1774-1873. It includes the Journals of the Continental Congress (1774-1789), the Records of the Federal Convention of 1787, and the Debates in the Several State Conventions on the Adoption of the Federal Constitution (1787-1788); the Journals of the House of Representatives (1789-1873) and the Senate (1789-1873), including the Senate Executive Journal (1789-1873); the Journal of William Maclay (1789-1791), senator from Pennsylvania in the 1st Congress; the debates of Congress as published in the Annals of Congress (1789-1824), the Register of Debates (1824-1837), and The Congressional Globe (1833-1873); and the Statutes at Large (1789-1873). Seventeen volumes of the U.S. Serial Set are also currently available; an additional 93 volumes from before 1873 will be added later. This online collection offers the records of the U.S. Congress up to 1873, the year in which the Government Printing Office assumed publication of the proceedings of Congress and the Congressional Record began. Future additions to the online collection will include congressional bills from 1789 to 1873 and the American State Papers, which contain the legislative and executive documents published by Congress from 1789 to 1838.
