Hathi Trust is a library consortium to ensure that the cultural heritage is preserved and accessible long into the future.
It has more than 5 million books digitized and two hundred thousand serial titles with 31% of them in the public domain.
Complutense joined Hathi Trust in Twenty Ten (2010) and is the only non-American partner.
Another partners are the Library of Congress, New York Public Library, California Digital Library and some academic libraries as Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Stanford, California, Chicago, Michigan, Yale...
Why we joined Hathi Trust? Because there was not at that time in Spain or in Europe a project that would allow us to preserve and disseminate at reasonable costs and proper standards our digital objects.
