HeinOnline adds new legislative content

HeinOnline announced today that it is digitizing Covington & Burling’s prestigious congressional committee hearings collection. The initial release includes nearly 3,000 hearings and 1 million pages of content covering hearings from the 71st Congress (1927) through the 103rd Congress (1994). Once this backfile is complete, the hearings collection will contain more than 16,000 hearings and 5 million pages of content. The hearings will be available as a subcollection in HeinOnline’s U.S. Congressional Documents Collection and made available to all U.S. Congressional Documents Collection.
