Formerly the Federal Digital System (FDsys), govinfo.gov is a service implemented by the United States Government Publishing Office (GPO), which provides the public with free access to a variety of official government documents from each of the three branches

 

Govinfo.gov deems itself “more than a website” as it is responsible for: 1. Public access – they utilize modern search technology alongside metadata to ensure a quality search experience. Documents are free and easily accessible for users on both their computer and mobile devices. 2. Content management – the “GPO securely controls digital content throughout its lifecycle to ensure content integrity and authenticity. This includes the application of digital signatures to PDF files so users can verify documents have not been altered and are the official versions.” 3. Digital preservation – their certified Trustworthy Digital Repository “ensures content is preserved for future generations despite technical failure, aging of hardware, or technological change.”
