Research by Type

Heritage research is packaged into a number of different publication types in order to get policy information to visitors with a variety of needs. The following are categories of publication, along with a brief description of each.
 

Backgrounders
Heritage Backgrounders give researchers the in-depth information they need on a wide variety of key issues. Charts, graphs, and other visuals contained in these studies are also available to clarify the nuances of today's public policy debates.

Executive Memoranda
Heritage's Executive Memoranda give Congressional staff and researchers the policy information they need, in a format that allows quick reference and action.

First Principles
The First Principles series explores the core ideas of the American founding and the role these ideas play in modern civil society.

Heritage Lectures
Lectures given at Heritage Foundation events by prominent political figures, academics, and issue experts from around the world. Unfortunately, not all of our lectures are transcribed. If you have questions please contact Jason Murphy.

Legal Memoranda
Written by members of Heritage's Center for Legal and Judicial Studies, these reports give researchers the facts on hot issues in the American judicial system.

Heritage Center for Data Analysis Reports
The Center for Data Analysis generates reports which give researchers the raw data that drives Heritage's policy positions. These reports ensure that hard facts are the focus of debate, from health care to economic stimulus.

WebMemos
The Heritage Foundation's Web Memo is an online exclusive analysis that supplies Heritage.org visitors with the information they need to follow fast-breaking policy developments.

Testimonies
As leading experts in a number of public policy fields, Heritage analysts are often asked to testify for legislative bodies, both on Capitol Hill, and in state capitals around the country.

Economic Freedom Project Reports
The Center for Data Analysis generates reports which give researchers the raw data that drives Heritage's policy positions. These reports ensure that hard facts are the focus of debate, from health care to economic stimulus.

Special Reports
Heritage Foundation Special Reports are extensive, in-depth, often interdisciplinary studies on complex policy issues that demand detailed analysis.

Archived Documents
Heritage papers from 1977-1996.
