The ProQuest Congressional Hearings Digital Collection for the years 1980-2010 has been purchased by the University Libraries.
The collection is completely integrated into the database formerly titled LexisNexis Congressional Universe, now renamed ProQuest Congressional.
It includes:
* Full transcripts of the proceedings, including all oral statements, committee questions and discussion.
* Texts of related reports
* Statistical analyses
* Correspondence
* Exhibits, and articles presented by witnesses or inserted into the record by committee members and staff.
Hearings are a valuable research tool because they contain information about a wide variety of topics. Content topics include agriculture, business, and industry; communications and transportation; education, health, housing, and public welfare; law and justice; national defense and foreign relations; and environment, energy, and science.
