The State of Congressional History – “Periodic assessments of the state of congressional history and the work of federal and archival offices that promote it are of great value to scholars and their work. Fortunately, a panel on this topic at the 2014 annual meeting of the Society for History in the Federal Government on April 5, 2014, brought together three individuals who collectively have over four decades of experience leading the House and Senate history offices. Their remarks are provided here. The session was introduced by Richard McCulley, Historian at the Center for Legislative Archives, National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).” Panelists: Richard McCulley, Historian, Center for Legislative Archives, NARA; Donald A. Ritchie, Historian, U.S. Senate; Raymond W. Smock, Director, Robert C. Byrd Center for Legislative Studies; Matt Wasniewski, Historian, U.S. House of Representatives.
