Reference Use of Congressional Papers in New Jersey Local History Research
Collections of the papers of U.S. Senators and Congressmen/women are commonly recognized for their importance in research of Federal legislative matters. Less appreciated is the value of these collections for local and social history. Drawing principally on the papers of former U.S. Senator Harrison A. Williams, this session explores the ways in which reference librarians can assist local researchers in the use of Congressional collections.
