CRL Webinar-Radical Collaboration: Library Publisher Partnerships to Advance the Global Knowledge Commons

The CRL Webinar are available at the end of this post.

The Global Press Archive Charter Alliance is an initiative by East View Information Services and the Center for Research Libraries to develop a unique series of thematically designed collections to meet the priorities of the CRL members. 74 CRL (including UCB) and NERL libraries have committed $4.25 million to help launch the first three years of the project.

So far, we have access to Mexican Revolutionary Newspapers and Russian Imperial Newspapers as a part of this process.

Independent and Revolutionary Mexican Newspapers 

The Independent and Revolutionary Mexican Newspapers collection, with a preliminary release of 135,000 pages from 477 titles, will ultimately include approximately 1,000 titles from Mexico’s pre-independence, independence, and revolutionary periods (1807-1929).

Imperial Russian Newspapers 

The Imperial Russian Newspapers collection comprises out-of-copyright newspapers spanning the eighteenth, nineteenth, and early twentieth centuries, up to the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution. [1782-1918]
