Rezension: Phillips has an impressive record of experience collecting and managing U.S. congressional papers, including those of former Louisiana Senator Russell B. Long. She also contributed to 'The Documentation of Congress', published by the Society of American Archivists (1992). In this work she covers the full range of concerns facing a congressional archivist, offering advice on collecting, surveying, organizing, and writing inventories of congressional materials. A section on electronic records is also included. The introduction describes some unique aspects of congressional papers management as an archival specialization and reviews earlier scholarship on the subject. Every practicing congressional archivist should read and use Phillips's excellent book, as should library administrators whose facilities house congressional papers. [Archivists and government documents librarians also may be interested in the National Archives and Records Administration's three-volume 'Guide to Federal Records in the National Archives of the United States'.
The Congressional Record is the official record of the proceedings and debates of the United States Congress. It is published daily when Congress is in session. The Congressional Record began publication in 1873. Debates for sessions prior to 1873 are recorded in The Debates and Proceedings in the Congress of the United States (1789-1824), the Register of Debates in Congress (1824-1837), and the Congressional Globe (1833-1873)
The personal papers of former members of Congress, which constitute at least half of the documentation of the legislative branch of government, are held in over 500 different institutions. An American Political Archives Reader performs the vital task of making these collections more accessible by presenting the best and most recent scholarship on congressional collections. The articles contained in this volume guide archivists through the challenges of dealing with these voluminous, complex collections. For institutions developing their political documentary resources and working toward greater accessibility of political archives, this book provides much needed information and is a welcome handbook on the appraisal and preservation of political collections.
