April 14th-15th marked the 2016 DPLAfest held in Washington D.C. I attended sessions at various locations such as the Library of Congress - Jefferson and Madison Buildings, The National Archives, and The Smithsonian Ripley Center. Highlights included getting clarity on copyright from RightsStatements.org, a panel session on the future of libraries, and information about DPLA's rollout of the collaborative Primary Source Sets project.
