Librarians, technologists, and other information professionals from the University of North Texas, Educopia, Arizona State University, the University of Missouri, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Yale University, Stanford University, and the Center for Research Libraries, are undertaking a project to address national concerns regarding the preservation of electronic government information (PEGI) by cultural memory organizations for long term use by the public. The PEGI project has been informed by a series of meetings between university librarians, information professionals, and representatives of federal agencies, including the Government Publishing Office and the National Archives and Records Administration. The focus of the PEGI proposal is at-risk government digital information of long term historical significance.
Educopia’s role in the project is to help plan and implement a series of meetings, including small meetings hosted adjacent to six conferences and a national forum to be held in December 2018. Educopia is also the lead facilitator for the national forum.

A series of six forums hosted in conjunction with major events in the library, archives, history, museum, and other related fields.
A national forum (December 2018) to convene diverse stakeholders to scope a national agenda for future work.
This report provides a synopsis of the Preservation of Electronic Government Information (PEGI) National Forum, hosted in December 2018, in Washington, D.C. with generous funding by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
This facilitated meeting was designed to enable librarians, archivists, and researchers to explore and address targeted concerns regarding long-term access to historically significant born-digital government information in the U.S. The National Forum helped to build consensus among collaborators about their shared priorities, such as goals for collective action, and shared challenges, such as vocabulary and metrics. This report shares the methodology used to create the forum, a recap of the activities and conversations it generated, and a brief set of recommendations for next steps.
