DocumentCloud is an open-source software as a service platform that allows users to upload, analyze, annotate, collaborate on and publish primary source documents. Since its launch in 2009, it has been used primarily by journalists to find information in the documents they gather in the course of their reporting and, in the interests of transparency, publish the documents. As of May 2023,[update] DocumentCloud users had uploaded more than 5 million documents.[3]
DocumentCloud's development has led to the creation of several notable open-source projects, including Backbone.js,[4] Jammit and Underscore.js.[5][6] The majority of funding for DocumentCloud has come from grants by the Knight Foundation.
