Congressional Committee Calendars

Senate Committee Calendars

The two tables below provide information about the Library of Congress' collection of United States Senate committee calendars. Table 1 lists the availability of committee calendars for current, active Senate committees. Additionally, the first table recommends options for accessing these calendars using free and subscription online resources. Table 2 outlines the Library of Congress' collection of historical Senate committee calendars for committees that are no longer active. The ranges provide information about which Congresses' committee calendars are available in the collection (not the years the committee has been or was active). For a chart converting Congresses to years, use the Dates of Sessions of the Congress table on Senate.gov.

For those researchers primarily investigating historical Senate committee calendars, please note that many of these calendars are also online. The free online collections on HathiTrust External contain a number of historical committee calendars. To find Senate committee calendars on HathiTrust, try using the advanced catalog search feature External to search for [All Fields: senate, All Fields: "legislative calendar"].

If you are using GovInfo to access legislative calendars, you may need to look in both the "committee prints" and "legislative calendars" collections (sometimes the committee's page has both).
