[We are reproducing the following from In Custodia Legis, the blog of the Law Library of Congress, on the latest "migration" of Congressional materials from "Century of Lawmaking" to the digital site, Congress.gov. DRE]
We have been working on migrating content from Century of Lawmaking to Congress.gov over the last few years. We kicked this off with migrating 30,000 Bills and Resolutions from 1799-1873. Then, in February 2024, we added the Annals of Congress to Congress.gov. In November last year, we added the Senate Journal to our site. The House Journal was added in the following release. If you are interested in more information on the journals, we have help pages for both the House Journal and Senate Journal.
Earlier this year, in February, we added the Congressional Globe. The Debates of Congress (Congressional Globe, The Annals of Congress, and the Register of Debates) are all predecessors to the Congressional Record, which goes back to 1873 on Congress.gov. The Globe was followed by the Senate Executive Journal going live on Congress.gov in April.
With today’s release we are adding the last item from the Debates of Congress, the Register of Debates. This is also the last area of content to migrate from Century of Lawmaking to Congress.gov. You can see the Register of Debates starting with the 18th Congress of the Browse page and through the 25th Congress.
