Our mission

Free Government Information (FGI) is a place for initiating dialogue and building consensus among the various players (libraries, government agencies, non-profit organizations, researchers, journalists, etc.) who have a stake in the preservation of and perpetual free access to government information. FGI promotes free government information through collaboration, education, advocacy and research.

Daniel Cornwall

Daniel Cornwall was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. He lived in California, Texas and Florida before moving to Juneau, Alaska in 1998. Daniel graduated with a Masters of Library and Information Science from UT Austin. He works for the Alaska Division of Libraries, Archives & Museums, which is not associated in any way whatsoever with Free Government Information.

In addition to his role at Free Government Information, Daniel maintains a personal blog and a professional Facebook page.
