Overview
This study focused on NDIIPP's "Preserving State Government Information" initiative, which the Library of Congress (LOC) launched in 2005 with a series of workshops to discuss preservation of digital information from state governments. NDIIPP then funded four multi-state projects: Persistent Digital Archives and Library System (PeDALS), A Model Technological and Social Architecture for the Preservation of State Government Digital Information (MTSA), Geospatial Multistate Archive and Preservation Project (GeoMAPP) and the Multi-State Preservation Partnership (MSPP).

This report provides extensive information about the projects' activities, products and the contexts in which they operated.
