In this section you will find digitised pages from the first 100 years of Congress.

You can access the documents in two ways:

1. Browse - If you wish to simply browse through a particular report, choose a year from the "Go to Year" option in the left hand menu. Click on the Go button and you will be presented with the first page from that report together with any associated photographs from that year's Congress. Click on the Title of the image and you will be given two options, go back to the list or browse the book. If you choose to browse you will be taken to a page which will enable you to read the Report from cover to cover. Click on the arrows to take you back or forwards. If you wish to go on to read another year, simply choose a year from the drop down menu again.

2. Searching - All the text from the Reports has been indexed. Enter a word or words in the "Search text of the reports" box in the left hand menu. To refine your search use the search operators listed on the Site Information page. If you wish to restrict your search to a particular year then choose one from the "Limit by date" drop down list. Click the Go button and you will be presented with a list of images which contain the word or words you searched for. The results will be listed in date order.
