About The Chesapeake Project
The Chesapeake Project contains government, policy, and legal information archived by the Georgetown Law Library, the Maryland State Law Library, and the Virginia State Law Library, including:
• Reports and studies relating to U.S. government and policy
• Materials relating to public policy and legal issues in the state of Maryland
• Publications issued by Virginia's judicial branch of government
• Materials by and about the District of Columbia
The Chesapeake Project was implemented as a two-year pilot project in early 2007 by the Georgetown Law Library and the State Law Libraries of Maryland and Virginia. Today, these three libraries have expanded the archive beyond the pilot phase. Law libraries nationwide are encouraged to join this collaborative digital archive, or establish their own preservation projects, under the auspices of the Legal Information Preservation Alliance.
