Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) began with a vision for a national digital library that would be free and open to all. DPLA’s staff and board are committed to carrying this vision forward. Our core work includes bringing new collections and partners into DPLA, building our technology, and managing projects that further our mission through curation, education, and community building. DPLA’s valuesprovide more information about how we aspire to work, and why we do what we do.
