Government organizations frequently use PDF files for document distribution due to their ease of forwarding and printing.
Finding and accessing specific PDFs among millions of files can be challenging.
GovScape, a research project by the University of Washington and Boston University, offers a search interface via the End of Term Web Archive’s 2020 crawl.
The GovScape code is open source and available on GitHub.
The tool is expected to become increasingly important in the future.
