The Thomas P. O'Neill, Jr. Congressional Papers document the Speaker's career in the U.S. House of Representatives. Much of the material was generated by the Speaker's staff, though O'Neill's personality is apparent throughout the collection. Politics at the highest level of government never overshadowed constituents' concerns. O'Neill's identification with the common man and his generous sense of humor are preserved in the papers.

Collection is open for research. Selected items are closed due to fragility; a microfilm access copy is available. Audiovisual recordings in this collection have been migrated from source media; digital use copies can only be accessed onsite in the Burns Library Reading Room.
