GPO Publishes 2016 Edition of Keeping America Informed, Celebrates 155 Years of Service features
The 2016 edition is revised and expanded to include additional information about GPO's history, as noted below in a new foreword by GPO Director, Davita Vance-Cooks: "Rapid change is a commonplace in the digital era, as new technologies overtake the old at a dizzying speed....The publication of this revised edition of Keeping America Informed is appropriate to this occasion, incorporating as it does the work of a robust historical program that has shed new light on key stories from our past, notably GPO’s close connection with President Lincoln, the agency’s experience with segregation during the Jim Crow era, a long-forgotten proposal to develop a Government paper mill, an analysis of how big GPO truly was in terms of its equipment and machinery, and a close-up look at GPO’s production of the edited transcripts of the Presidential tapes during the Watergate crisis of the early 1970’s."
