Digital Library Federation - DLF

Welcome to the Digital Library Federation

DLF serves all who are invested in the success of libraries, museums, and archives in the digital age.

What's the DLF?

Networked member institutions and a robust community of practice—advancing research, learning, social justice, and the public good through the creative design and wise application of digital library technologies.

Find your people, year-round. Grassroots, pragmatic, and mission-driven, DLF is a space where ideas are road-tested and shared strategies and visions emerge.

Get things done. We foster active, open, and welcoming working groups dedicated to building better libraries, museums, and archives for the digital age.
