Portico (www.portico.org/digital-preservation/) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a preservation agreement with John Benjamins Publishing Company to preserve its entire collection of 47 e-journals. Through this agreement with Portico, John Benjamins ensures that its collection of e-journals will be preserved and available for future scholars, researchers, and students.

John Benjamins Publishing Company is an independent academic publisher headquartered in The Netherlands. The company publishes books and journals in the social sciences and humanities, and is particularly noted for its publications in the field of linguistics.
