Congressional Hearings: Law Library of Congress

Congressional Hearings: Law Library of Congress [pdf]

http://www.loc.gov/law/find/hearings.html

Recently, the Law Library of Congress and Google teamed up on a collaborative pilot project to digitize the Law Library's entire collection of 75,000 volumes of printed Congressional Hearings. For those who might not be familiar with these hearings, they typically contain testimony from members of Congress, interest groups, and policy experts. The intent of this initial digitization project is to produce text-readable versions of these hearings and to make them available as quickly as possible. Currently, the site contains three thematic collections that cover hearings on the U.S. Census, freedom of information, and immigration. Visitors can browse through them at their leisure and even offer their own comments on the quality of the image and any general comments as well. >From The Scout Report, Copyright Internet Scout Project 1994-2008. http://scout.wisc.edu/
