The Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) was created for the purpose of providing accessible historical narratives to the general public. The DPLA houses digital exhibits, collections, and guides based on the occupation of the user (i.e. student guides, educator guides, etc).

This portion of the DPLA focuses solely on primary sources. The sources are organized based on subjects, historical periods, and chronology.

"The Lesbian Herstory Archives exists to gather, preserve and provide access to records of Lesbian lives and activities. Doing this also serves to uncover and document our herstory previously denied to us by patriarchal historians in the interests of the culture that they served. The existence of the Archives will thus enable current and future generations to analyze and reevaluate the Lesbian experience."
