The Congressional Papers series (12.5 linear feet, 98 GB, 204 audiovisual items, 1 website, and 1 oversize folder) comprises the bulk of the collection and documents Camp's 24 year tenure as Michigan's 10th/4th district U.S. Representative. The series is organized chronologically by congressional term including a sub-series for pre-congressional activities comprised of one audio and two video recordings of interviews when Camp was a member of the Michigan state legislature, and a multi-congress sub-series for records that span multiple terms in office such as Camp's official member website, photographs with constituents, speeches, floor statements, recordings of Camp during committee hearings (opening statements and questioning) which were posted to Camp's official YouTube channel, and undated or unidentified press recordings.
Materials in each congressional term are arranged into three sub-sub-series: Administrative and Office Files, Legislative and Committee Files, and Press and Media Files. All record formats (textual, born-digital, and audiovisual) are intellectually integrated into the collection, but may physically be stored separately. Office records include correspondence with colleagues, government officials, and a small amount of constituent letters; schedules of Camp's daily activities; photographs with constituents, events, and portraits; and reports, issue briefing books, legislative planning documents, and year-end accomplishments. Legislative materials include bills sponsored or co-sponsored by Congressman Camp and floor statements; committee files document Camp's service on the House Ways and Means Committee, National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, and the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction (111th to 113th congresses) and cover welfare reform in the 1990s, efforts to reform healthcare and insurance in the 1990s and in the 2010s under President Barack Obama, and legislative efforts on economic and fiscal policy, in particular Camp's work on the Tax Reform Act of 2014. Press files comprise the bulk of audiovisual materials in this series such as audio and videocassettes of interviews on national and local Michigan radio and television. Additional press materials include press releases, clippings, and op-ed articles.
