Verlagsinformation :: Publisher's information

From their inaugural sessions, both the United States House and Senate have kept journals of their proceedings, as required by the Constitution, to record the minutes of floor action. Readex's digital edition - House and Senate Journals, Series I, 1789-1817 - chronicles matters considered on the floor, votes and other actions taken, as well as excerpts from executive department communications and member responses. Readex is digitizing the original printings of the House and Senate Journals, rather than the Gales and Seaton reprints from the 1820s.

A variety of historically significant topics

The historically rich House and Senate Journals document important issues, events, organizations and people, including the Constitutional Convention, the Bill of Rights and Constitutional Amendments, Alexander Hamilton, and the Fugitive Slave Act. Capturing the U.S. government in its infancy, these fully searchable publications also cover such subjects as:

• Cotton industry
  
• Northwest Ordinance
  
• Cabinet Departments
  
• Ohio territory
  
• Treaty of Greenville
  
• Judiciary Act
  
• French Revolution
  
• Tariff Acts
  
• Tobacco and smoking
  
• Thomas Paine
  
• Jay Treaty
  
• United States Navy
  
• Alien and Sedition Acts
  
• Franco-American Convention
  
• Public Land Act
  
• Impeachment of William Blount
  
• Post-Revolution British-American relations
  
  

Cross-searchable with other digital editions

House and Senate Journals, Series I, 1789-1817 - like Readex's digital edition of the American State Papers, 1789-1838 and the Senate Executive Journals, 1789-1980 - illuminates key moments in early American history and government as they occurred and influential decisions as they were made. Additionally, as part of the America's Historical Government Publications, the Readex digital edition of House and Senate Journals, Series I, 1789-1817 is cross-searchable with all other Archive of Americana collections, which include the definitive version of the U.S. Congressional Serial Set and various digital editions within America's Historical Newspapers, 1690-1922 and America's Historical Books, Broadsides and More.
