The Congressional Research Service provides analytical support to Congress. As a result of their research, detailed information reports are often created. OpenCRS is a website that gathers reports that are publicly available. The “About” portion of the website offers insight to their collection.

The site supports a Google Custom Search Engine to quickly locate reports based on keyword searching. As of this writing, the site is searching almost 14000 reports. The website also provides a listing of online CRS collections.

From the homepage, OpenCRS offers an RSS feed to recent reports and an email subscription option.
