Numbering began with 15th Congress, as the publications of the earlier congresses were not assembled in book form.
Prior to the 97th Congress, the serial set had no official name; it was popularly known as the Congressional serial set.
The set has also been known variously as: Serial number set, Congressional edition, Congressional set, Congressional series, Congressional series of United States public documents, Congressional document series, Sheep set, Sheep bound set (owing to its distinctive sheepskin binding), and Serial set.
