What We Don't Have

The Center for Legislative Archives does not have:

• Private and personal papers of senators and representatives. These records are held at congressional repositories around the United States.
• Laws signed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the President of the Senate, and the President of the United States. These records are part of the General Records of the U.S. Government (Record Group 11), and can be accessed by contacting the Archives 1 Reference Staff at archives1reference@nara.gov, 700 Pennsylvania Ave, NW, RDT1R, Washington, DC 20408.
• Records of the Continental and Confederation Congresses and the Constitutional Convention (Record Group 360). These records can be accessed by contacting the Archives 1 Reference Staff at archives1reference@nara.gov, 700 Pennsylvania Ave, NW, RDT1R, Washington, DC 20408.
