The website was created over the course of a year in 2012 with the aid of an outside contractor. The nearly two-dozen staff working for the House Historian's Office and the Office of Art & Archives regularly maintain and update content. We work with the Office of the Clerk's Legislative Computer Systems office and an outside contractor for technical maintenance and upgrades.
