The Common Crawl Foundation (CCF) has joined the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) this month, becoming the Coalition’s newest Associate Member.

As a non-profit foundation dedicated to the Open Web, Common Crawl maintains a free, open repository of web crawl data that can be used by anyone.

Greg Lindahl, CCF’s Chief Technology Officer, says: "We envision a truly open web that enables free access to information and fosters innovation in research, business, and education.” Since its inception in 2008, Common Crawl has steadily expanded its web archive, which now exceeds 10 petabytes and continues to grow each month. This ever-expanding resource is instrumental in countless areas of research worldwide. "We look forward to collaborating with DPC members to improve the quality and integrity of our archive."

The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) is delighted to welcome the United States Government Publishing Office (GPO) as its newest Full Member.

The mission of the U.S. Government Publishing Office is to publish trusted information for the Federal Government to the American people. GPO´s digital repository, the GovInfo system, ensures free online access to current and historical United States Federal Government information today and into the future, and comprises a public website that manages, preserves, and provides access to information from the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of the United States Federal Government.
