Gale Digital Archives

A new concept for acquiring content A one-time purchase means your library will

own archival content through the end of the previous year.

After the initial archival purchase, an annual update is available for an additional fee.

So you're able to renew your electronic purchase, maintaining ownership of the most current and comprehensive data available.

INDIVIDUAL INSTITUTIONS One-time, up-front purchase fee with

contract License annual updates with access if

desired

CONSORTIA Pricing available for both consolidated

purchase and buying clubs on models similar to annual subscriptions
