To compile for the first time complete Congressional district boundary maps for all of the 95 Congresses in the history of the U.S. (1789-1976). The research undertaken would fill this data gap in American history through archival research leading to the drafting of the Congressional district maps and their publication in a reference atlas. Because of the character of American history, institutions, and legislative systems, the mapping of votes in Congress would be a valuable analytical and illustrative tool. |
