Data Banks

Official Records

are databanks which contain governmental outputs as laws, statutes, regulations and court opinions at various levels of the political system (from legislatures to courts and beyond). One of the most well known databanks is THOMAS, the online service of the Library of Congress created in 1995 to make federal legislative information freely available to the Internet public. In order to ensure the transparency of the political process and decision-making, official records databases are usually freely searchable and downloadable.
