Does anyone here work knows about historical records of Congress?

Hi there, I know my post has nothing to do with admissions or applications. Anyway, my husband needs to find web access to historical records of US Congress for his PhD. Online database offers records back to 1989 or so and the period from 1919 to 1945 is missing. He needs to access congress debates  on important issues (such as WW II) at that time and we have no clue. And we're not in the US , yet, so that we can visit the library of congress. Do any of you have ideas? Thanks guys

I've found archive.com to be incredibly useful, both for congressional stuff and state legislatures.

 

For earlier stuff, http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/amlaw/lawhome.html is also invaluable. And as a last resort, there's always google books.

Provided his University has a subscription (which is likely), heinonline has the complete Congressional Record available.  This should be what you're looking for.  Hein also has some additional material (Senate and House Journals, etc...) for certain dates and that could be helpful.

As does ProQuest.
