PRESS RELEASE
BRILL announces the launch of the BRILL journal archive online
July 31, 2007. Koninklijke Brill NV announces that the content of
virtually all of its older journal backfiles will become available
online in early 2008. Brill currently publishes over 100 journals and
subscribers already have access to journal articles published from 2000
onwards as part of their subscription.
The Brill Journal Archive Online will give access to over 50,000
articles published before the year 2000. Some of the journals started
publication over a hundred years ago.
Brill's 2008 journal subscription prices have been developed to allow
institutional subscribers access to the archival content of journals
they subscribe to, for as long as subscriptions are maintained.
Libraries and consortia wishing to acquire the archives in perpetuity
will be able to purchase either subject packages or the entire
collection of available archives.
The launch of this archive coincides with Brill's 325th anniversary.
Access to the Brill journal archive will be of great benefit to the
academic community, enabling scholars to search a far broader range of
content and to explore historical perspectives on their area of study
and research.
The Brill Journal Archive Online will be hosted by Ingenta.
