Advisory Committee on the Records of Congress
The Advisory Committee on the Records of Congress was established under authority of Public Law 101-509 (November 5, 1990) to advise Congress and the Archivist of the United States on the management and preservation of the records of Congress.
The Advisory Committee is comprised of the officials in Congress responsible for its records (Clerk of the House, Secretary of the Senate, Senate Historian, and House Historian) and the Archivist of the United States, who is responsible for the administration of the archived records of Congress. House and Senate leadership appoint public members of the committee, who represent historians, political scientists, congressional archivists, and other users and caretakers of legislative records.
