Georgia Well-Represented in Digital Public Library of America

The Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) recently launched, making the riches of America’s libraries, archives, and museums freely available to the world. The DPLA builds on existing resources and leverages years of hard work by special collections librarians, archivists, and others to make images and documents from our rich history available to the public.

The Digital Library of Georgia (DLG) serves as a regional service hub for the DPLA, working with other institutions to help them share their content with the public. Thousands of items from the DLG can be found in the DPLA, with more items to be added over time.

Read more about the Digital Library of Georgia’s participation in the DPLA and about some of the included DLG collections, and see the announcement from DPLA about the launch.

Take some time to explore the Digital Public Library of America, including items from the Digital Library of Georgia.
