Overview
Chartered by Congress in 1962, the United States Capitol Historical Society (USCHS) was founded and is now led by former members of Congress. USCHS studies, interprets, and educates Congress and the public on the history, art, architecture, and heritage of the Capitol building and the United States Congress through scholarship, educational programs, annual recognition awards, public activities, and collaboration with the Architect of the Capitol, Senate and House historical offices, other congressional entities and other nonprofits such as the White House Historical Association, the Supreme Court Historical Society, and the U.S. Association of Former Members of Congress. This grant will support UCSHS’ ongoing efforts, including an upcoming conference in association with an exhibit on the history of U.S. separation of powers by the Architect of the Capitol in the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center.
