We are pleased to publish the OTW's 2025 Annual Report, available on the OTW website: 2025 OTW Annual Report. The report provides a letter from our Board of Directors, a summary of our activities during the past year, and our financial statements for 2025. Some highlights from 2025 include Tag Wrangling canonizing almost 400 new "No Fandom" tags, Transformative Works and Cultures being added to the U.S. Library of Congress, and the creation of the Organizational Culture Roadmap Workgroup—the first formal workgroup since the Content Policy workgroup was converted to a Legal subcommittee in 2017.

You can access the 2025 report, and all earlier years, on the Reports and Governing Documents page of the OTW website. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
