The USDA Office of General Counsel Legislative Histories Collection consists of 517 bound volumes of major pieces of federal agricultural law and associated resources. The volumes are arranged by Congressional Session then by Public Law number. Within each Public Law section, there is a summary of the law and an index and summary of history of the bill. Other legislative documents are filed after the summaries in chronological order. Types of documents vary per Public Law, but primarily consist of bills, hearing transcripts, digests of the Congressional Record, and committee reports. The collection was donated by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Office of the General Counsel (OGC) in 2018. The bulk of this collection is from 1941-1971.
