U.S. Congressional Serial Set

The U.S. Congressional Serial Set is a publication used for studying American history. With more than two centuries of documents spanning over 17,000 volumes, it is an indispensable resource for understanding the development of the United States. Beginning with the 15th Congress, 1st Session (1817), the records in this series include House and Senate documents, House and Senate reports, and more.

Starting with initial publication, all material within the Serial Set has been assigned a unique serial number. Documents and reports have two additional numbers: (1) an individual report or document number, and (2) a volume number of each series for each session of Congress
