| Desc | BUILDING AND SUSTAINING THE ORGANIZATION - WITH FUNDING FROM THE ALFRED P. SLOAN FOUNDATION THE DPLA WAS CREATED AND LAUNCHED TO MANAGE A NATIONAL DIGITAL LIBRARY PLATFORM FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THIS SUPPORT ENABLED THE NEWLY ESTABLISHED DPLA, INC., TO HIRE A FOUNDING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND THE TWO INITIAL STAFF MEMBERS WHO THROUGH A PLANNING PROCESS MADE A WORK PLAN AND DEVELOPED AN INITIAL SYSTEM TO ESTABLISH THE ORGANIZATION AND BRING THE PLAN INTO FRUITION. FOLLOWING A SUCCESSFUL PLANNING PHASE AND LAUNCH IN APRIL 2013, THE DIGITAL PUBLIC LIBRARY OF AMERICA IS WELL ON ITS WAY TO ACHIEVING ITS AMBITIOUS GOAL OF BRINGING TOGETHER THE RICHES OF AMERICA'S LIBRARIES, ARCHIVES, AND MUSEUMS, AND MAKING THEM FREELY AVAILABLE TO RESEARCHERS AROUND THE WORLD. BUT IN ORDER TO FULFILL THIS MISSION, THE ORGANIZATION MUST FIND A SOUND AND SUFFICIENT MODEL FOR SUSTAINABILITY OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS. ALTHOUGH IT HAS RECEIVED WIDESPREAD RECOGNITION AND EVEN ACCLAIM IN ITS FIRST YEAR, DPLA NEEDS TO HIGHLIGHT ITS VALUE BETTER TO POTENTIAL SUPPORTING INSTITUTIONS OR INDIVIDUALS, AND THEN ESTABLISH A MEANS FOR CONVERTING THAT INTEREST INTO REGULAR, ONGOING FUNDING. SUPPORT FROM THE ANDREW MELLON FOUNDATION WILL HELP DPLA MOVE TO SUSTAINABILITY. | Desc |

| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 2 | DIGITAL HUBS PILOT PROJECT: IN SEPTEMBER 2012, DPLA BEGAN THE FIRST EFFORT TO ESTABLISH A NATIONAL NETWORK OUT OF THE OVER 40 STATE OR REGIONAL DIGITAL COLLABORATIVES, NUMEROUS LARGE CONTENT REPOSITORIES, AND OTHER PROMISING DIGITAL INITIATIVES CURRENTLY IN OPERATION THROUGHOUT THE US. THROUGH THE DIGITAL HUBS PILOT PROJECT, WE ARE WORKING WITH OUR PARTNERS TO BRING TOGETHER A MYRIAD OF DIGITIZED CONTENT FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY INTO A SINGLE ACCESS POINT FOR END USERS. THE APPROACH FOR THE PILOT IS TO WORK WITH SIX STATE OR REGIONAL ORGANIZATIONS (SERVICE HUBS) AND A SIMILAR NUMBER OF LARGE CONTENT PROVIDERS (CONTENT HUBS) TO AGGREGATE CONTENT ON A PILOT BASIS; WE PLAN TO EXPAND THE PROJECT TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL PARTNERS IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THE GOAL OF THE HUBS PROJECT IS TO STRENGTHEN AND CONNECT EXISTING STATE AND/OR REGIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE TO CREATE A SYSTEM OF SERVICE AND CONTENT HUBS FROM WHICH AGGREGATED DATA FROM LIBRARIES, MUSEUMS, HISTORICAL SOCIETIES AND ARCHIVES ARE HARVESTED. THE DIGITAL HUBS PILOT PROJECT IS SUPPORTED BY THE NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES, THE INSTITUTE OF MUSEUM AND LIBRARY SERVICES, AND THE JOHN S. AND JAMES L. KNIGHT FOUNDATION.

DPLA DIGITAL HUBS PILOT: THE DPLA HUBS MODEL IS ESTABLISHING A NATIONAL NETWORK OUT OF THE OVER FORTY STATE/REGIONAL DIGITAL LIBRARIES AND MYRIAD LARGE DIGITAL LIBRARIES IN THE US, BRINGING TOGETHER DIGITIZED AND BORN-DIGITAL CONTENT FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY INTO A SINGLE ACCESS POINT FOR END USERS, AND AN OPEN PLATFORM FOR DEVELOPERS. THE MODEL SUPPORTS OR ESTABLISHES LOCAL COLLABORATIONS, PROFESSIONAL NETWORKS, METADATA GLOBALIZATION, AND LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY. INVESTIGATING EDUCATIONAL USES THE DIGITAL PUBLIC LIBRARY OF AMERICA HAS RECEIVED A GRANT FROM THE MRS. GILES WHITING FOUNDATION TO EXPLORE EDUCATIONAL POSSIBILITIES FOR ITS GROWING COLLECTION. THE GRANT WILL ALLOW DPLA TO CONVENE IN-PERSON MEETINGS FOR EDUCATORS FROM A WIDE VARIETY OF INSTITUTIONS, INCLUDING K-12 SCHOOLS, COMMUNITY COLLEGES, SMALL LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGES, AND RESEARCH UNIVERSITIES, THIS FALL IN BOSTON. THE PURPOSE OF THESE MEETINGS WILL BE TO DEFINE WHAT DPLA AND OTHER LARGE-SCALE DIGITAL COLLECTIONS CAN DO TO BETTER ADAPT THEIR RESOURCES TO ADDRESS EDUCATIONAL NEEDS AT THE SECONDARY AND COLLEGE LEVEL. TO READ MORE ABOUT THE INVESTIGATING EDUCATIONAL USES PROJECT, VISIT ITS PROJECT PAGE. PUBLIC LIBRARY PARTNERSHIPS PROJECT THE DIGITAL PUBLIC LIBRARY OF AMERICA'S PUBLIC LIBRARY PARTNERSHIPS PROJECT, FUNDED BY THE BILL AND MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION, WORKS WITH EXISTING DPLA SERVICE HUBS TO PROVIDE DIGITAL SKILLS TRAINING FOR PUBLIC LIBRARIANS AND CONNECT THEM SUSTAINABLY WITH STATE AND REGIONAL RESOURCES FOR DIGITIZING, DESCRIBING, AND EXHIBITING THEIR CULTURAL HERITAGE CONTENT.
