Preserving State Government Digital Information
Introduction
The Library of Congress’ National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP) has funded four initial state-level projects, including Minnesota's A Model Technological and Social Architecture for the Preservation of State Government Digital Information, a two-year project to work with selected state legislatures in exploring methods to provide enhanced online access to legislative materials in digital form.
The Minnesota Historical Society is leading the effort in partnership with the Minnesota Revisor’s Office, the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library, the California Digital Library, California’s State Library and State Archives, the California Legislative Counsel, and the National Conference of State Legislatures. Other participating states include Illinois, Kansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Vermont.
