GPO Joins Digital Preservation Coalition

The U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) has joined the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC), an international charitable foundation that supports digital preservation. GPO is joining a growing DPC community with 170 members in 24 countries worldwide. The DPC helps its members deliver resilient long-term access to digital content, such as that on GPO’s GovInfo, the one-stop site for authentic, published information for all three branches of the Federal Government.

“GPO remains committed to standards-based approaches to digital preservation, and joining the DPC is another way GPO delivers on its vision of an America Informed,” said GPO Director Hugh Nathanial Halpern. “Joining this community means GPO will learn from other leading organizations and contribute our expertise to the community. Ultimately, efforts like this help us serve the American public.”

GPO’s GovInfo is one of two organizations in the world to be designated as an ISO 16363 Trustworthy Digital Repository. GPO achieved the certification by meeting rigorous criteria for trustworthy digital repositories as defined by experts in the field. GovInfo also earned a CoreTrustSeal certification for the first time in 2024.
