In 2006, the Greater Western Library Alliance funded a digitization pilot project to address these issues. In 2007, the pilot project morphed into the Technical Report Archive & Image Library (TRAIL), an ongoing effort that identifies, acquires, catalogs, digitizes and provides unrestricted access to federal agency technical reports.
