The Association of Centers for the Study of Congress (ACSC) was founded in 2003 as an independent alliance of organizations and institutions which promote the study of the U.S. Congress.

ACSC draws on the talents and resources of its members to promote a wide range of programs and research opportunities related to Congress. Many of the member institutions house archival collections of the papers of current and former members of the House of Representatives, the Senate, and other related research collections.
