This page is a collection of sunsetted projects that FGI has undertaken.
- LostDocs – (2009 -2022). LostDocs was a long-running project to post “fugitive” federal government publications (now called “unreported” documents or those documents that should be part of the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) but have slipped through the cracks and remain uncatalogued and unpreserved) and to advocate for the community to hunt for and report those documents to GPO. Through these efforts, thousands of unreported documents were sent in to GPO and made available for the long-term through FDLP libraries and GPO.
- Free State Government Information (FSGI) (aka StateDocs) – (2014 – 2020). StateDocs was a hosted project of Kris Kasianovitz, James’ colleague at Stanford University Libraries. Kris was the state, local, and international government information librarian at Stanford. As such, this was a project targeting copyright of state publications. Most state laws are ambiguous and often unknown, even by agencies within their state. FSGI sought to clarify these policies and ensure the widest possible access and use of state government information.
