The Homeland Security Digital Library (HSDL) consists of documents related to homeland security policy, strategy, and management. Sources include federal, state, and local governments, IGOs, nonprofit and private sector entities, and think tanks and research centers. The public part of the collection includes over 79,000 public domain items; Yale researchers have access to the full collection of 157,000 items. 

Between now and October 30, 2021, Yale will be hosting a trial for PolicyCommons. Policy Commons is a comprehensive content-and-discovery platform for public policy, with more than 2.5 million reports, briefs, analyses, media, working papers, and datasets from IGOs, NGOs, think tanks, and global research organizations.
