Biographical Directory of the United States CongressThe Biographical Directory of the United States Congress is a biographical dictionary of all present and former members of the United States Congress as well as its predecessor, the Continental Congress. Also included are Delegates from territories and the District of Columbia and Resident Commissioners from the Philippines and Puerto Rico. The on-line version goes well beyond the scope of the printed Biographical Directory to include images from the large photo collections of the Senate Historical Office and the Legislative Resource Center, additional information previously published in separate volumes (Guide to Research Collections of Former United States Senators Senators of the United States: a Historical Bibliography and Guide to Research Collections of Former Members of the House of Representatives), links to other sources of congressional information, and continuously updated entries that provide biographical information in clear and easy-to-read formats. Database searchable by name, state, position, party and year.
