Throughout this Web site we’ve highlighted records that tell the story of the important work of the Members of Congress and their staff, but also the voices of the people who they represent. We’ve also provided resources that make House records more accessible and understandable. In combination with the historical facts and publications and art and objects, the site provides a multifaceted history of the “People’s House.” Please note that the official records of the House of Representatives are preserved and made accessible at the Center for Legislative Archives, although the records remain the property of the House of Representatives and subject to its rules. Please note that access to House records is only available through the Center for Legislative Archives. If you are interested in accessing any open House Records please contact the Center at 202-357-5350, legislative.archives@nara.gov. For questions for the House’s Archives staff, please send an e-mail to archives@mail.house.gov or call 202-226-1300.
