A Guide to Government Acronyms & Abbreviations


I originally created this list in April 2000 for the IUPUI University Library. I am no longer affiliated with that institution, but have received authorization
to re-create and provide continued maintenance for this web page. Although based on that original IUPUI site, there is no further connection.

[Please note: I will do my best to keep up with changes as they are made by the Obama Administration.
If you find errors or know of new acronyms that do not yet appear here, please let me know.]
