History

The Society was established in 1962 as a private non-profit organization. Founded through a bipartisan effort by Congress, the society's creation was spearheaded by its first president, Representative Fred Schwengel of Iowa. The group holds a congressional charter under Title 36 of the United States Code.[2] They have an Oral History collection at the Library of Congress.[3] They offer Fellowships to study the history of the Capitol.[4]

Awards

In 2004, The United States Capitol Historical Society was one of eight recipients of the National Humanities Medal from the National Endowment for the Humanities conferred by President George W. Bush.[5]

Today

The society is governed by a fifty-person Board of Trustees who have past involvement with the Capitol.
