Gale, part of Cengage Learning, and non-profit electronic archiving service provider Portico, US, has announced Gale will be preserving three additional digital historical collections with Portico. This follows the completed ingest of 10 Gale Digital Collections - including 19th Century U.S. Newspapers, The Making of Modern Law: Primary Resources and Eighteenth Century Collections Online - and represents over 80 million files (75 million pages of content), which doubled the size of the Portico archive in just one year.
The three additional Gale collections being committed to the Portico archive comprise over one million files, and include Dictionary of Literary Biography, Something About the Author Online and Literature Criticism Online. With the addition of these collections, the total number of files being preserved from Gale in the Portico archive will reach over 82 million, representing an achievement of scale for Portico.
In accordance with Portico's D-Collections Service model, Portico will make the content available to Gale's customers under specifically defined circumstances called trigger events. Should the content no longer be made available through the Gale system, Portico would make the content preserved in the archive available to Gale's customers. There is no charge from Gale to its customers for this service.
