The Center for Homeland Defense and Security (CHDS) is providing free automatic access to the Homeland Security Digital Library (HSDL) (HSDL) for all federal, state, and local government agencies, research institutions, and U.S. military instillations.
The library offers a collection of over 45,000 homeland security-related policy and strategy documents to include:

• Presidential directives, executive orders, and key U.S. policy documents
• Homeland Security related reports from federal, state, and local agencies from around the globe
• Homeland Security related theses and research reports
• Featured documents on terrorism, public health, school violence, emergency response, border security, and more
• Quick links to state homeland security offices

For individual access, users may request an account by going to the “Request an Individual Account” link from the HSDL homepage or visiting https://www.hsdl.org/?auth/request_account.
CHDS also offers organization-wide access via IP and DNS domain authentication. If you are interested in organization-wide access to the HSDL, CHDS ask that you e-mail hsdl@nps.edu and provide the following information:

• Your organization’s IP range and CIDR number/subnet mask (Example 152.30.0.0/16). If NAT (Network Address Translation) or a proxy server is used to access the internet, please provide the ip/subnet for the NAT or proxy server interface.
• Or, the DNS domain names associated with the computers in your organization (Example dhs.gov).
