Welcome to the Digital Library Federation

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

Join us for the in-person 2024 DLF Forum

The DLF Forum welcomes digital library, archives, and museum practitioners from member institutions and beyond—for whom it serves as a meeting place, marketplace, and congress. We're thrilled to partner with member organization Michigan State University Libraries and the College of Arts nd Letters to host DLF Forum's in-person summer event, set to take place July 29-31, 2024.

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.
