    National Statuary Hall Collection: Background and Legislative Options Updated December 3, 2019 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R42812 National Statuary Hall Collection: Background and Legislative Options Summary The National Statuary Hall Collection, located in the U.S. Capitol, comprises 100 statues provided by individual states to honor persons notable for their historic renown or for distinguished services. The collection was authorized in 1864, at the same time that Congress redesignated the hall where the House of Representatives formerly met as National Statuary Hall. The first statue, depicting Nathanael Greene, was provided in 1870 by Rhode Island. The collection has consisted of 100 statues—two statues per state—since 2005, when New Mexico sent a statue of Po’pay. At various times, aesthetic and structural concerns necessitated the relocation of some statues throughout the Capitol. Today, some of the 100 individual statues in the National Statuary Hall Collection are located in the House and Senate wings of the Capitol, the Rotunda, the Crypt, and the Capitol Visitor Center. Legislation to increase the size of the National Statuary Hall Collection was introduced in several Congresses. These measures would permit states to furnish more than two statues or allow the District of Columbia and the U.S. territories to provide statues to the collection. None of these proposals were enacted. Should Congress choose to expand the number of statues in the National Statuary Hall Collection, the Joint Committee on the Library and the Architect of the Capitol (AOC) may need to address statue location to address aesthetic, structural, and safety concerns in National Statuary Hall, the Capitol Visitor Center, and other areas of the Capitol.

  • Iowa Women's Suffrage Collection
    STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF IOWA DES MOINES CENTER Special Collections REGISTER OF THE IOWA WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE COLLECTION RECORDS, 1866 - 1951 Collection Number: MS71 Iowa Women's Suffrage Collection. Records, 1868-1951. 9.5 cubic feet (22 containers). ABSTRACT This collection contains the records and documents related to the women's suffrage movement in Iowa and the efforts to commemorate the suffrage movement following successful enactment of the 19th amendment to the United States Constitution. Included are records of a number of Iowa suffrage organizations such as the Iowa Women's Suffrage Society, the Iowa Equal Suffrage Association, the Iowa Suffrage Memorial Commission, the Iowa League of Women Voters, and the Des Moines Political Equality Club. In addition, the collection includes correspondence and other documents related to Carrie Chapman Catt, the Women's Centennial Congress and various journals and publications including The Revolution (1868-1870); The Woman's Column (1892); The Woman Citizen (1917-1918); The Woman's Standard (1886- 1888); as well as several scrapbooks compiled by those active in the women's suffrage movement. Arranged and described by Michelle McQuisten, Andrea Stanton and Dwight Saunders. SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE The records of the suffrage movement in Iowa cover a time span of about seventy-five years. For most of that time—from about the Civil War days until the passage of the "Susan B. Anthony Amendment" in 1919—the primary efforts of Iowa suffrage groups and persons were aimed at securing an amendment to the state constitution which would permit women to vote in local and state elections.
