Congressional Collections

The history of the U.S. Congress is documented in the official records of Congress, the private and personal papers of members of Congress, and many other sources. Official records include records of committee and administration/support offices for the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate, records of Joint Committees of Congress, congressional hearings, records of Legislative Branch Commission, records of Legislative Branch Organizations, publications of the U.S. Government, and select special collections. They are located in the National Archives at the Center for Legislative Archives. Most personal papers of members of Congress are geographically dispersed in repositories around the country.

The Center for Legislative Archives maintains this index of archival repositories and congressional collections to assist researchers in locating the papers of U.S. senators and representatives. This index is arranged by state thereunder the name of the holding institution or organization followed by the name of the member of Congress. Learn more about how to use this index.

Additions to the index can only be made at the request of the holding institution. Learn more about how to request your congressional repository be added to this index.

Please direct research questions about these collections to the holding repositories.

How to Use This Index

This index is arranged by state thereunder the name of the holding institution or organization followed by the name of the member of Congress. To search for a specific institution or member of Congress hit "CTRL F" then type in the search term.

Members' personal names are listed by legislative body ("H" for U.S. House of Representatives, "S" for U.S. Senate or "D" for Delegate) and dates of service.

When a collection is held at an institution outside the member's home state the home state is also identified.

Some repositories provide detailed, collection-specific descriptions online; others mention their congressional collections only in the broader scope of their repository holdings.

Please direct research questions about these collections to the holding repositories.
