US project providing public access to the digital holdings of libraries, archives, and museums.

The Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) is a US-based project aimed at providing unified public access to digital holdings from libraries, archives, and museums across the United States. Officially launched on April 18, 2013, after two-and-a-half years of development, DPLA aggregates metadata from thousands of contributing institutions and makes it freely available. The DPLA has developed its own Metadata Application Profile (DPLA MAP) for harmonizing diverse metadata from its service hubs into a consistent linked data model.
