Six Libraries Partner With GPO To Preserve Government

Libraries at the University of Montana, the University of Memphis, and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville have signed Memorandum of Agreements with the U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) to become Preservation Stewards, and three other libraries are adding materials to their current Preservation Steward collections. To help libraries meet the needs of efficient Government document stewardship in the digital era, GPO has established Preservation Stewards to support continued public access to U.S. Government documents in print format. Preservation Stewards contribute significantly to the effort to preserve printed documents.

“GPO is excited to continue its partnership with these six libraries who have committed to preserving Government information and expanding their collections,” said GPO Director Hugh Nathanial Halpern. “By entering into this agreement, these libraries are committing their support to preserving Government information for their communities and the Nation, playing a critical role in helping GPO realize its vision of an America Informed.”
