“The Dirksen Congressional
Center
has been a
wonderful and indispensable
addition to the community of scholars
interested
in congressional history. The
Center has offered financial
support that
scholars
need to conduct research into
the legislative branch,
while
it has been
instrumental to the organization of
conferences, workshops,
web-based
initiatives, and teaching programs that
greatly further our
knowledge
of congressional history.”
Julian Zelizer,
The
American Congress, xi.
