Portico (www.portico.org) is pleased to announce the signing of an agreement with Brill to preserve its entire online journals collection of 130 titles. Founded in 1683 in Leiden, The Netherlands, Brill is a leading international publisher in the Humanities and Social Sciences. In addition to its journals program, Brill publishes 500 new books and reference works each year.
Through this agreement with Portico, Brill furthers its digital preservation strategy. Since 2005, Brill has worked with JSTOR to provide a trusted archive for 23 of its journals’ back issues. Brill has also agreed to make an annual financial contribution to Portico to help support its preservation work.
With the inclusion of Brill’s e-journals, over 10,000 e-journals and 27,000 e-books from 74 publishers on behalf of 2,000 societies and associations have now been entrusted to the Portico archive. The complete list of titles as well as a list of participating publishers are available at www.portico.org.
