Portico (www.portico.org/digital-preservation/) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a preservation agreement with Thomas Telford, the UK-based knowledge business of the Institution of Civil Engineers.
Thomas Telford’s initial commitment will be to deposit to the archive the 35 e-journals and proceedings series published on behalf of the Institution of Civil Engineers, a global membership organization that exists to promote and advance civil engineering. Through this agreement with Portico, Thomas Telford ensures that these e-journals and proceedings will be preserved and available for future scholars, researchers, and students.
As part of the agreement, Thomas Telford will make an annual contribution to Portico and has also named Portico as a mechanism to provide post-cancellation access to the titles committed to the archive.
With the inclusion of these 35 e-journals, over 11,000 e-journals and 34,000 e-books from 98 publishers on behalf of over 2,000 societies and associations have now been entrusted to the Portico archive. Further, nearly 15 million articles are currently preserved in Portico. For a complete list of Portico-related facts and figures, please visit Portico’s Archive Facts & Figures.
