Thomas (U.S. Government Publishing Office's digital repository)

Thomas was an online database maintained by the U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) that provided free access to current and historical legislative information, including bills, resolutions, and Congressional records. It served as a comprehensive resource for researchers, journalists, and the public to follow legislative activities and understand government decisions. In 2016, Thomas was replaced by Congress.gov, which offers more updated and user-friendly access to legislative data. Overall, Thomas helped make government legislative processes transparent and accessible by centralizing important congressional documents online.
