About the Digital Preservation Program at the Library of Congress

The mission of the National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program is to develop a national strategy to collect, preserve and make available significant digital content, especially information that is created in digital form only, for current and future generations.

Program Partners and Initiatives

NDIIPP is based on an understanding that digital stewardship on a national scale depends on public and private communities working together. The Library has built a preservation network of over 130 partners from across the nation to tackle the challenge, and is working with them on a variety of initiatives.

Digital Preservation Inside the Library of Congress

In addition to engaging with partners, the Library of Congress is also working internally to preserve and access digital content.

Program Background

Congress asked the Library to lead NDIIPP in December 2000. Background information on the program is available here.
