Abstract: The universe of Federal Government information today spans a multitude of formats from the earliest days of our republic, throughout the heyday decades of ink-on-paper, to the past twenty years of increased digital only dissemination. Throughout the U.S. Government Publishing Office's 154-year history, the agency has transformed itself with each advance in publishing, while staying true to its mission of Keeping American Informed. This presentation will discuss recent changes at GPO to improve the discovery of, access to and presentation of official Federal Government information. It will identify challenges and opportunities of preserving this vast universe of Federation information and focus on GPO's new Federal Information Preservation Network (FIPNet), a national collaborative initiative to ensure access to Federal Government information for future generations.
