The collected edition of United States publications was for decades known as the Congressional edition, or congressional set, or Serial Set. In general the Serial Set for the United States includes material which has resulted from the work of the legislative branch but in some years materials from executive bodies were included. The material from each Congress was serially numbered and published in categories called Senate reports, House reports, Senate documents, House documents, Executive documents, etc. Although the library's holdings are incomplete, this is a valuable primary source. St. Lawrence University Library has a more complete set.
Specific volumes are available on interlibrary loan.
The Library of American Civilization is a collection of material on ultramicrofiche relating to all aspects of American life and literature from their beginning up to 1914. The titles in this edition are not cataloged and so will not be found in the online catalog unless they are in the library in a different edition as well. Sets of these four books are found on the LAC cabinet in which the collection of ultramicrofiche cards is stored in the reference area. Examples of Primary Sources Available in the Special Collections U.S. Congress. Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War.
