Non-profit electronic archiving service provider Portico, US, has announced the addition of two Gale Digital Collections – Nineteenth Century Collections Online and National Geographic Magazine Archive, 1888-1994 to Portico’s D-Collections Service. Portico has already preserved more than 1,380,000 objects and 83,000,000 files from 14 Gale Collections previously committed to the archive.
These new collections represent a wide range of content types, including monographs, newspapers, journals, and manuscripts.
Nineteenth Century Collections Online is a multi-year global digitisation and publishing programme bringing together primary source collections – monographs, newspapers, pamphlets, manuscripts, ephemera, maps, photographs and more – of the long nineteenth century (1789-1914) and beyond. National Geographic magazine is the official journal of the National Geographic Society, one of the world’s largest non-profit educational and scientific organizations.
Featuring the complete archive of the magazine to the mid-1990s, National Geographic Magazine Archive, 1888-1994, includes every article of this vast knowledge base, faithfully reproduced and fully searchable through an intuitive interface.
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 or from other sources, or if Gale were to experience an extended service interruption, Portico will make the content preserved in the archive available to Gale's customers.
