GMU students now have access to a comprehensive collection of legislative history documents from 1789 to the present in a fully-searchable, digitized format. Most of these documents were previously only available in microfiche. In cooperation with the University Libraries, GMU Law Library recently completed acquisition of all available databases within the LexisNexis Congressional library, purchasing all remaining historical archives. The complete LexisNexis Congressional library includes the Serial Set (1789-present), Congressional Hearings (1824-present), and the Congressional Record (1789-present). LexisNexis is still in the process of uploading documents to these collections. The Congressional Record upload should be complete by late 2009 and the Serial Set should be complete in 2010. The Congressional Hearings collection is already complete. LexisNexis Congressional can be accessed from the law library’s database portal (http://www.law.gmu.edu/library/catalog). Please feel free to stop by the reference desk for help using this or any other resource.
