JSTOR Daily, September 2024
Portico launched nearly twenty years ago as a locus for digital preservation of scholarly publications around the world. Since then, it has become a go-to platform for publishers who want to ensure that their content—text, video, images, and more—exists in perpetuity for students, researchers, and scholars of future generations. More than 1,000 participating publishers have looked to Portico to preserve their digital publications and to make such content available in the event that the publisher cannot do so.
In recent years, Portico has sought to preserve content about underrepresented topics and communities. The Digital Transgender Archive, housed at Northeastern University in Boston, is among the institutions that have joined with Portico in this new initiative.
