The CLOCKSS Archive is pleased to announce that it has partnered with Berghahn Books to preserve their ejournals and ebooks in CLOCKSS’s geographically and geopolitically distributed network of redundant archive nodes, located at 12 major research libraries around the world. By archiving with CLOCKSS, Berghahn Books has committed itself to the preservation of their ejournals and ebooks. This action provides for content to be freely available to everyone after a “trigger event” and ensures an author’s work will be maximally accessible and useful over time.
Vivian Berghahn, Managing Director of Berghahn Books, remarks that “as a publisher dedicated to serving its scholarly community of researchers and librarians now and in the future, Berghahn Books recognizes the importance of being able to provide librarians guaranteed continuity and security of access to its titles. We are delighted to partner with CLOCKSS as part of the preservation initiatives aimed at achieving this.”
CLOCKSS Executive Director Randy S. Kiefer adds, “The CLOCKSS Archive welcomes Berghahn Books’s ejournals and ebooks with their transatlantic and Australasian coverage of the social sciences and humanities, into the community’s archive. We are grateful, as Berghahn Books joins the CLOCKSS Archive, for its generous willingness to preserve its ejournals and ebooks in a way that secures them for the long-term good of scholars worldwide.”
