Between 1964 and 1978 (second session of the 88th Congress through the 95th Congress) each publication series within a congressional session was assigned a single session volume number with perhaps multiple parts and this pattern was also followed by the Serial Set volume number series.
The serial numbering sequence gave the set its popular name, but it was not until the Serial Set was published for the 97th Congress (1981-1982) that the series was given the official title United States Congressional Serial Set and since that time all volumes of the Serial Set have that name on their title pages.
The selections include selected maps, correspondence on the emigration of Indians, pension rolls of the United States, a statistical view of U.S. population from 1790 to 1830, Indian land cessions, journals of the Confederate Congress, and selected other documents and reports.
