Abstract
As the twentieth century progresses, some archival institutions are becoming overstocked with masses of documentation from people and institutions important to the operations of our society. The archival profession no longer has sufficient staff and space to winnow this material, item by item. Even our most important leaders leave us with such a legacy of documentation that item-byitem weeding is generally no longer a feasible way to reduce bulk and produce a collection of manageable size. By any definition, the elected leaders of the U.S. government the President, the senators, the representatives are worthy subjects of research as they reflect and shape the operations and values of our society. This paper concerns a method for reducing the bulk of the papers of members of the legislative branch, thereby making the papers more usable for research.
