Using Century of Lawmaking

Using the Library of Congress
CENTURY OF LAWMAKING Website

The Library of Congress has digitized many, many documents related to the early
history of the United States, particularly government documents. These are
extremely useful primary sources.

If you have a citation (including Congress number, session number, and page number), then you can proceed directly to the Page Turner. If you do not know a particular citation, you will want to go to the Browse List feature, which shows all page headings. (You can use your Browser's search feature to look for particular words or phrases in this list of topics.)

If you are not even sure of the year, or which part of Congress you want, you can
Search All Law Titles.

Note: When you are looking at scanned pages, you can view them as small or large
images. The larger images are saved as *.tiff images, and your browser may or may
not have the required "plug-in" to view these pages.

If you cannot view the *.tiff images, and you are on the PC side, you can download
a free plug-in (called Alterna-TIFF) from http://www.mieweb.com/alternatiff/ .
Installation instructions are given at the web site. You must register, but registration is free.

Click the "BACK" button on your browser when you are finished with these instructions.
