Notable examples of the types of records now available from the GPO include the Federal Budget, laws such as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Federal regulations, and Congressional hearings, reports, and documents. GPO continuously adds records to the CGP which will also be available through DPLA, increasing the discoverability of and access to Federal Government information for the American public.

“GPO’s partnership with DPLA will further GPO’s mission of Keeping America Informed by increasing public access to a wealth of information products available from the Federal Government,” said Public Printer Davita Vance-Cooks. “We look forward to continuing this strong partnership as the collection of Government information accessible through DPLA continues to grow”.

The GPO is responsible for the production and distribution of information products and services for all three branches of the Federal Government, including U.S. passports for the Department of State as well as the official publications of Congress, the White House, and other Federal agencies in digital and print formats.
