GENERAL ASSEMBLY COLLECTIONS
1798-1996
The collections of the General Assembly consist of material documenting the lives, careers, and activities of Pennsylvania legislators. It includes material gathered under the Legislative History Project that was divided into three phases: Oral history interviews with living members of the House or Senate, a legislative biography project, and a legislative records project that sought to acquire the papers of retired or deceased legislators.
Most of this collection remains unprocessed, but the following materials are known
to be present:
