Our Mission: The Byrd Center advances representative democracy by promoting a better understanding of the United States Congress and the Constitution through programs and research that engage citizens.
Our Vision: To recognize Congress as the fulcrum of representative democracy in the United States and facilitate a greater understanding of the legislative branch, both historically and in a contemporary setting, through the preservation of its documentary heritage, research, and programming that focuses on the Constitution, civic education, and Congress’ central role as a co-equal branch of government. Become a Friend of the Byrd Center The Byrd Center relies on the contributions of our Friends to make our mission of advancing representative democracy a reality. You can become a part of this mission by joining our Friends of the Byrd Center group which enjoys special access to all of the programs at the center. Learn more here >> |
