Hi everybody,

Today we have posted on OpenGLAM a guest blogpost written by Kenny
Whitebloom of the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA).

*The Digital Public Library of America (DPLA <http://dp.la/>) is an
ambitious project to build a national digital library platform for the
United States that will make the cultural and scientific record available,
free to all Americans. Hosted by the Berkman Center for Internet & Society
at Harvard University, the DPLA is an international community of over1,200
volunteers and participants <http://dp.la/workstreams/> from public and
research libraries, academia, all levels of government, publishing,
cultural organizations, the creative community, and private industry
devoted to building a free, open, and growing national resource. Since
October 2010, the DPLA has been led by a 16-member Steering
Committee<http://dp.la/about/steering-committee/> composed
of leaders from myriad professional backgrounds. This group recently
transitioned to an inaugural five-member Board of
Directors<http://dp.la/about/board/> that
will build upon what the Steering Committee has already accomplished.*
