The genesis of GPA was the agreement with Stanford University Libraries and the Hoover Institution Library & Archives to digitally preserve and make searchable "potentially 25 million pages of newspaper content" that are part of the collections at Stanford Libraries (Press Release 02 Nov 2016). GPA initially launched with an aggregation of titles already available from East View, with the announcement of additional titles and aggregated collections to come beginning in 2018. Delivery: Titles will be made accessible through the customized "GPA Platform" based on Veridian. Veridian was developed specifically to support the presentation of newspaper content and has been employed by projects such as the California Digital Newspaper Collection and Singapore National Library. The platform is able to support discovery in a wide variety of languages and scripts. Content purchased by institutions will be accessible through IP Authentication and will be cross-discoverable within the platform.
