American Meteorological Society to archive journals with Portico

Portico is pleased to announce the signing of an agreement with the American Meteorological Society (AMS) to preserve the society's journal collection. Founded in 1919, AMS is a nonprofit educational and scientific organization with a global membership of more than 11,000. AMS promotes the development and dissemination of knowledge of the atmospheric and related oceanic and hydrologic sciences and the advancement of their professional applications.

Through this agreement with Portico, AMS makes certain its entire collection of fourteen journal titles is preserved for future scholars, practitioners, students, and weather enthusiasts. In addition to supplying content, AMS has agreed to make an annual financial contribution to Portico.

With the inclusion of AMS journals, over 6,000 titles have now been entrusted to the Portico archive. The complete list of journal titles is available at http://www.portico.org/about/committed_titles_alpha.html and a list of participating publishers is available at http://www.portico.org/about/part_publishers.html.
