New Legislative History Resources

Two new federal legislative history resources are now available for researchers. Both of these items are included on our Web Research Links > Federal Resources > Federal Legislative History page.

The C-SPAN Video Library, C-SPAN Archives has recorded, indexed, and archived all C-SPAN programming for historical, educational, research, and archival uses since 1987. The C-SPAN Congressional Chronicle is an index to video recordings of House & Senate proceedings. All C-SPAN programs since 1993 are digital and can be viewed online for free.

HouseLive.gov is a new resource offered by the U.S. House of Representatives. It has streaming video feeds of the House Floor Proceedings dating back to the beginning of the 111th Congress.
