Digital Copies of Our Holdings
Less than 1% of the Center's holdings have been digitized and made available through the National Archives Catalog. The vast majority of the Center's holdings are paper-based records that have not been digitized.
Finding Aids and Preliminary Inventories
The Center for Legislative has various finding aids and preliminary inventories for selected records. Our Preliminary Inventories are detailed finding aids that include descriptions of series, and in some instances include folder titles, at the record group or committee level. Most of the finding aids and preliminary inventories describing our holdings are not available online. Visit the Research Guides and Tools page to learn more about our finding aids and preliminary inventories.
