IT STRIVES TO CONTAIN THE FULL BREADTH OF HUMAN EXPRESSION, FROM THE WRITTEN WORD, TO WORKS OF ART AND CULTURE, TO RECORDS OF AMERICA'S HERITAGE, TO THE EFFORTS AND DATA OF SCIENCE. THE DPLA AIMS TO EXPAND THIS CRUCIAL REALM OF OPENLY AVAILABLE MATERIALS, AND MAKE THOSE RICHES MORE EASILY DISCOVERED AND MORE WIDELY USABLE AND USED, THROUGH ITS THREE MAIN ELEMENTS. 1. A PORTAL THAT DELIVERS STUDENTS, TEACHERS, SCHOLARS, AND THE PUBLIC TO INCREDIBLE RESOURCES, WHEREVER THEY MAY BE IN AMERICA.2. A PLATFORM THAT ENABLES NEW AND TRANSFORMATIVE USES OF OUR DIGITIZED CULTURAL HERITAGE.3. AN ADVOCATE FOR A STRONG PUBLIC OPTION IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY. 11 11 13 200 0 0 3996809 1653459 0 0 814 3103 0 0 3997623 1656562 776849 529988 0 0 967811 1706448 0 0 0 247222 430484 1991882 2666920 2005741 -1010358 2645582 1510634 494976 370386 2150606 1140248 X THE DIGITAL PUBLIC LIBRARY OF AMERICA BRINGS TOGETHER THE RICHES OF AMERICA'S LIBRARIES, ARCHIVES, AND MUSEUMS, AND MAKES THEM FREELY AVAILABLE TO THE WORLD. 0 0 490000 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. 223500 BUILDING THE TECHNICAL INFRASTRUCTURE - WITH FUNDS FROM AN ANONYMOUS DONOR, THROUGH DIETEL PARTNERS, DPLA WAS ABLE TO HIRE TECHNICAL STAFF TO DESIGN, BUILD AND HOUSE THE COMPLEX TECHNICAL INFRASTRUCTURE PLATFORM AND INCREASE EFFICIENCY TO OUR CONTENT AGGREGATION PROCESS TO HOUSE THE LIBRARY COLLECTIONS. STAFF WORKS TO INGEST CONTENT FROM ACROSS THE U.S., AND TO DESIGN, DEVELOP, TEST, INTEGRATE, SUPPORT, AND DOCUMENT USER-FACING APPLICATIONS AND BACK-END SYSTEMS, AMONG OTHER ESSENTIAL DUTIES. A METADATA COORDINATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DATA-MODEL CREATION AND MAINTENANCE. 1649342 529988 DPLA DIGITAL HUBS - WITH FUNDING FROM THE NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES, THE KNIGHT FOUNDATION AND THE BILL AND MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION DPLA 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. IT ENSURES THAT EVEN THE SMALLEST INSTITUTIONS HAVE AN ON-RAMP TO PARTICIPATION IN DPLA. IN ADDITION, FUNDS PROVIDE FOR THE CREATION OF A CURRICULUM AND DIGITAL SKILLS TRAINING FOR STAFFS AND VOLUNTEERS OF PUBLIC LIBRARIES AND SUSTAIN NEW DIGITAL SKILLS USING DPLA-RELATED OPEN MATERIALS AND SERVICES. 2362842 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 4 0 1 13 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 11 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 MA X ANDY PRIVEE 6178592116 C/O BOSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY 700 BOSTON MA 02116 JOHN PALFREY CHAIR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CATHERINE CASSERLY TREASURER 1.00 X 0 0 0 LAURA DEBONIS SECRETARY 1.00 X 0 0 0 LUIS HERRERA DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 PAUL COURANT DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 AMY RYAN CHAIR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JAMIE HOLLIER TREASURER 1.00 X 0 0 0 SIVA VAIDHYANATHAN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT DARNTON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JENNIFER 8 LEE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 NIKE PFUND DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DANIEL COHEN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 350000 0 37675 MARK MATIENZO DIRECTOR OF TECHNOLOGY 40.00 X 150000 0 15791 EMILY GORE DIRECTOR OF CONTENT 40.00 X 137500 0 20549 637500 0 74015 3 0 1 0 0 53297 1600162 1653459 3103 3103 1656562 0 0 3103 529988 529988 348950 233450 115500 1068587 987537 81050 32944 31794 1150 199814 174819 24995 56153 42324 13829 35897 35897 53703 49961 3742 6495 5654 841 6242 2597 3645 115457 103348 12109 3000 3000 205378 199735 5643 1411 1411 2267 90 2177 FILING FEES 634 134 500 2666920 2362842 304078 0 332400 65103 2300814 1437776 9450 3930 6358 2533 2918 3825 2645582 1510634 190476 127632 304500 242754 494976 370386 X 351749 260713 1798857 879535 2150606 1140248 2645582 1510634 -1010358 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 300000 3996809 1653459 5950268 300000 3996809 1653459 5950268 4225176 1725092 814 3103 3917 5954185 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 6358 2533 3825 3825 1656562 0 1656562 0 1656562 2666920 0 2666920 0 2666920 1 UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA 610A BOYD GSRC ATHENS GA 30602 586001998 501(C)3 50000 TO WORK WITH EXISTING DPLA SERVICE HUBS TO PROVIDE DIGITAL SKILLS TRAINING FOR PUBLIC LIBRARIANS AND CONNECT THEM SUSTAINABLY WITH STATE AND REGIONAL RESOURCES UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA OFFICE OF SPONSORED PROGRAMS 450 MCNAMARA ALUMNI CTR 200 OAK ST SE MINNEAPOLIS MN 55455 416007513 501(C)3 50000 TO WORK WITH EXISTING DPLA SERVICE HUBS TO PROVIDE DIGITAL SKILLS TRAINING FOR PUBLIC LIBRARIANS AND CONNECT THEM SUSTAINABLY WITH STATE AND REGIONAL RESOURCES UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA 610A BOYD GSRC ATHENS GA 30602 586001998 501(C)3 25000 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.
