Since 2005, the number of titles and types of content has grown significantly, as has participation, which now exceeds 1,000 libraries and publishers. Nearly 17,000 e-journals, more than 220,000e-books, and 72 digitized historical collections have been entrusted to Portico for long-term preservation. The articles, books, and digital collections currently preserved in the archive translate to nearly 415 million files and 60 terabytes of content.
We continue to look for ways to extend our service to the community,” said Kate Wittenberg, managing director, Portico. “The growth of the archive underscores the demand for electronic content and the need to securely preserve it.”

Portico is currently working with more than 850 libraries and 220 publishers.
